She also successfully completed design, purchasing of furnishings, and implementation of construction for several residential clients.
Her designs represent environments with style, comfort, and functionality. She is capable of producing "turnkey" projects, and manages all aspects of a project from commencement to completion, including: schematic design and design development, drawings, bidding, construction management, and furnishing installations.
