ABOUT

I’ve always had a passion for design, specifically designs that make people feel good. I studied at the Rhode Island School of Design and graduated in the top 2% in spatial concepts, or plainly put, how things “should” look. The field is applicable to colors, textures, and most importantly how objects are placed, the mood their placement creates, and how they relate to one another. 

Acknowledged for having an unyielding commitment to excellence within the luxury fashion and interior design fields, I’ve honed my two favorite skill sets -- visual arts & design, and management/operations. As a combination, these skills provide a unique and vital application within upscale interior design and renovations market. I began my career in luxury retail, successfully launching and opening the first two flagship stores in the U.S. market for British luxury clothing brand Reiss, overseeing and managing the operation. I learned the importance of executive communication, management operations, and how to make a business operate and perform in an efficient and successful manner.

Designing and managing projects for hospitality developers, upscale ski resorts, and even privately owned fast-casual restaurants enabled me to further advanced my skills in interior design and project management. Through these many projects, I gained knowledge, real world experience, and additional skills that will be an asset to the right interior design firm, tapping into  the full breadth of my abilities, which can deliver results in a comfortable, profitable, and successful way.

Growing up in New York City, and having traveled extensively throughout the U.S. and Europe, I have a healthy perspective on different lifestyles, living situations, and all the different flavors clients bring to the table. I combine all of this in an energetic and inspiring manner that spans my professional and personal lives.
