As an Environmental Designer with over 20 years of experience leading high-fidelity spatial concepts for brands like Amazon, Dell, and Marriott, I have always believed that a truly immersive experience is where 'the render meets the road.' I am a designer with a builder’s mindset, and I am eager to bring my expertise in 3D visualization and real-world execution to your studio. My background aligns directly with the 'speed, craft, and clarity' required for this role. I am an expert in SketchUp, Enscape, and Adobe Creative Suite. I don’t just create 'pretty pictures'; I develop production-ready 3D models and design intent documents that fabricators and vendors can actually build. I am fluent in materials, lighting, and furniture, ensuring that every guest journey is as feasible as it is emotionally resonant.
