![KENNETH RIVIERE<br />2206 Sterling Blvd. Englewood, NJ 07631 212-518-4004 tkdesignmanagement@gmail.com<br />SUMMARY<br />With more than twenty three years of experience acquiring, designing, directing and building commercial and residential interior design renovation projects, proven ability to lead all project phases from conceptualization to purchasing, color selections and final arrangement. Experienced with all aspects of business and project management, including estimating, budgeting, resource management, purchasing and billing. Excellent color sense and artistic presentation; negotiation, supervision, and communication skills. The ability to meet deadlines and work well under pressure. <br />My position has always been one of the lead person and problem solver. Due to my experience in construction I understand about materials and substitutions which cut down on time delays dramatically. Nothing is more important than actual install experience to gain a more realistic position on timing and implementation. Whether I am acting in the capacity of controlling the budget and creating legitimate change orders for the Owner of a GC company or acting as an owners rep and controlling the change orders generated by the GC I have effectively handled both sides of this coin. <br />PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE<br />TK Design Management, Englewood, General Manager 2009-Current<br />,[object Object]](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/thdesignresumexxxxxxxxx-100310075610-phpapp02/85/Th-Design-Resume-Xxxxxxxxx-1-320.jpg)
