OBJECTIVE
Translating visions of beauty and fantasy into reality is my specialty. I am an Interior Designer who will
improve the development of projects through my strong work ethic, unique conceptual framework, and skillful
color coordination. Working as a part of fast paced design team has taught me to analyze client needs, prioritize
project goals, create distinctive designs, and communicate effectively with clients. Both designing and
communicating come as second nature, meaning fewer and less frequent problems for clients to see their
dreams and aspirations take shape smoothly and efficiently.
My goal is to develop a reciprocal relationship with members of your design team. My innovative spirit and
sound skill set coupled with your reputable design expertise will surely lead to dynamic and exclusive projects.
I am a goal-driven, team player with quality experience in vendor relations, negotiations, various budget
ranges, and tight deadlines. My skill is matched by my commitment to the arts and my passion for design.
