About Me

I am a D.I.D. certified interior designer with 4+ years of experience creating crisp interiors for primarily residential use. I have spent the past 2 years working in a fast paced environment with Bijou Projects in Vancouver, B.C. as an Interior Designer and Project Manager. Being a key member of a small team has equipped me with invaluable on-site experience and the confidence to take on multiple projects at a time. I am a hard worker, both independently and as part of a team, and am always motivated to create the best finished product to meet or exceed each clients expectations.
