I began my career with my current company in June of 1987 and have had the privilege of working at the same company since. During my tenure I was promoted to associate and subsequently was elevated to vested principal in 2008. As the director Interiors Studio my duties include the oversight of the day-to-day efforts of the team. I am responsible for the coordination and tracking of all the interiors projects through-out the office which practices both interior design and architecture. I am responsible for project management, interfacing with clients and acting as their advocate for new or existing space and budgetary issues. As the supervisor of the department I perform human resource management as well as interfacing with ownership as to the status of current and potential projects. I have executed projects or managed/supervised every aspect of a project including but not limited to the documentation of existing conditions, programming/space analysis/blocking plans, preparation of SOW’s for clients, responding to RFP’s, client relations, preparing and approving contracts, schematic design, preparation of contract documents, review of documents, mentoring of staff and setting drawing standards. I have written specifications, managed the bid process, both competitive and negotiated, planned furniture, and performed construction administration services as both the landlord and the tenant advocate. I perform marketing and business development functions and have gained insight and knowledge of the commercial real estate market and leasing practices.
I am looking forward to hearing back from you with regards to opportunities within your organization or to further discuss my qualifications. Feel free to contact me at you convenience at the address, phone number or e-mail above.
