About Me
My Vision
“My design vision is to create positive, meaningful and productive work environments resulting in workspaces that are safe, functional and, to put it simply, spaces you just want to be in.”
CAREER STATEMENT: Being a part of the architectural and design community offers me the opportunity to delve into a multitude of unique positions within the industry. Having completed a formal education in architecture, I decided to focus on commercial interior design early in my career, and have attained a broad base of experience in all facets of the discipline over the past 30 years. Building on this experience, my primary career objective is to be a Senior Interior Designer with an innovative design firm, or contract furniture dealership, or a Facilities Space Planner with a dynamic national/international corporation.
