About
More than anything, I am passionate about transforming spaces and objects into experiences that enhance the lifestyle of the client, whilst maintaining a high level of quality workmanship and professional service. I have worked as the head of the art department for a high- end Interior Design company in New York City, where I managed a small team of artists in projects involving faux finishes, murals, and custom furniture pieces. My specialties are Venetian plaster, custom Verre-eglomise (reverse-glass gilding), and painted furniture. I am currently in Glasgow to pursue a post-graduate degree, but am actively looking to continue working in faux finishes and establish a custom decorated-furniture business.
