Space Experiential, Intriguing, Biophilic

As a Certified full-scope Interior Designer, Product Designer and Creative Strategist, I have worked on projects from 2,500 sf to over 1M sf, holding positions from Director of Interiors and Associate, Director of Product Materials to Partner and Owner - all of which have their own level of complexity, creativity and problem solving.

Full scope includes Programming, Concept Ideation, Plan Layout, Space and Product Design, Custom Architectural and Product Detailing, Millwork, Interior and Exterior Material Selection and Specification, Pro-types and Mock-ups, Visualization, Branding, Furniture, Art, Budgeting, Construction Documents, Construction Administration and Value Engineering. Final install with high-end photography shoots and 360 motion videos.

I lead all things creative with influence through cross departmental teams, vendors and contractors to ensure efficient processes and innovative solutions for the end user. Thoughtful innovation, synergy, transparency, and communication are key with many moving parts across channels, eliminating the "domino-effect" through process.

Biophilic Design Principles and sustainable practices are an integral process of design and business strategy.
