Professional Bio.
2002. Just weeks after graduation, I began designing for a high-end residential design firm located on Palm Beach’s Worth Ave. From this point forward the uniqueness and scale of projects increased with each passing year.
Interior architectural details have the power to completely influence the mood and style of a particular space. For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by the impact that these substantially important details can have on an individual’s experience. Whether it be creating these custom architectural features, or working with existing ones to produce an interior that is most complementary, as an Interior Architect, design and custom detailing have truly become my specialty.
When hospitality was added to my ensemble of design projects, I began working with notable city and country club projects across the country. I later accepted a position with a firm renowned as the #1 hospitality firm globally, and traveled to various cities around the world. I had the pleasure of working on both largescale residences and hotels, one of which was featured on both Good Morning America and the cover of the Los Angeles Times - “Antilia,” Mukesh Ambani’s 27 story home.
Fortunately for me, this love for detail was discovered early on. As a youth in Atlanta, my summers were spent hand-drafting site plans and land surveys alongside my father, an esteemed civil engineer. When time wasn’t spent in the drafting room, I would enjoy selecting various finishes and furnishings for my mother’s numerous design projects.
Realizing that the source of my greatest joy and contribution can be found in the process of designing, detailing and drawing, I made the choice to become an independent contractor. Currently, I work with other professionals and their teams to ensure that their current projects overall designs are both functional and aesthetically pleasing, their details are perfection, and their drawings are thorough and efficient.
Having a strong natural ability coupled with these experiences, I went on to graduate from FSU’s accredited interior design program in 3
On a personal level, I am dependable, and very much a people person. I find great joy in inspiring others and learning about their dreams and aspirations. I feel so fortunate that my journey has led me here, residing in sunny SoCal. When I’m not designing, I can be found near the beaches of LA where I enjoy jogging and long boarding. I am also the founder of a volunteer club, which is now up to 96 members. This group serves as a platform for friends to shine a light on the causes they are most passionate about. I organize group events based on these discussions - and together we go out into the community to make a difference. When I became aware of your company’s accomplishments and reputation, I wanted to reach out and take this time to introduce myself. I welcome the opportunity to speak with you more to learn about your companies design process, as well as discuss how I may offer a rewarding long-term contribution to your talented design team. Thank you kindly for your time and consideration.
Warm regards,
