I am an Interior Designer specializing in kitchen and bath design. My areas of expertise include 2020 Design, cabinetry sales, architectural drafting, and space planning. I earned my degree in Interior Design in 2005 and have won awards for my work.
PERSONAL SKILLS
As a designer I have a creative side, but what sets me apart from other designers is my analytical nature. I approach projects with a problem solving mindset and work to discover the best possible solution. My tactical methodology and organized nature make me versatile in a number of disciplines related to my experience in the construction industry and in life.
