Esthetically inclined interior designer with a strong passion and appreciation for modern designs. I enjoy the challenges of heading projects from start to end including space planning, supervision of construction drawings, contractor interaction, material color selection and client interactions. I have experienced in residential and commercial projects and demonstrated ability of delivering projects within strict time limit. I can quickly understand the design problem and develop a viable solution.
