About
Former media sales/mktg rep and McGraw-Hill Construction Sweets rep. 2nd career with honors degree in interior architecture and design. Greatest strengths are in concept/vision, space planning, surface and material applications and project mgmt. Currently working for personal clients, on contract for designers, as graphic designer and for a regional interior, industrial and architectural design magazine. Hospitality, retail, commercial offices and residential are where my creative visions shine. Working on a residential projects while proposing several innovative, new to global market plans. Seeking every opportunity that could be a mutually great match. I have not pushed it out to the public but I am slowly adding highlights of the 60K+ products and materials files and specs I have in to the Facebook archhives page (yes, 2 'h's). Slow process but it provides a window in to how my mind works in regards to design.
