    With over a decade of experience in consulting, startups and expanding business, I’ve been exposed to a diverse mix of design focuses. This has enabled me to collaborate with architects, engineers, facilities teams, manufacturers, and vendors to balance design intent with project budget and timeline. Through this experience, I have learned the value of streamlining the design process through visual and verbal communication to deliver projects on time while exceeding customer expectations.
