Available to hire
I am an interior designer with 18 years of experience creating spaces that work for my clients and add real value to their properties. I work primarily in AutoCAD and SketchUp, managing projects from concept to completion, and I enjoy collaborating with clients and teams to solve design challenges so every detail is right.
Recently, I expanded into the vintage and antiques market, running my own reselling business over the past year. I source unique items from many places and resell them on Instagram and at local markets, including the Santa Monica Antique Market since August. I leverage my interior design knowledge to curate timeless pieces and build a loyal customer base.
