My Design Journey

Welcome to my page! After receiving my B.A. in Psychology I worked for ten years as an operations and marketing professional. Last spring I decided I wanted to work in the Architecture and Design industry where I could have the freedom to turn my creativity into a reality.

My work experience in the industry includes time as a Designer at Crate & Barrel conducting in home consultations, using floor planning software, and presenting furniture proposals.

I currently work as a Design Assistant at a boutique luxury residential architecture and interiors firm in Boulder. At the firm I manage samples in the material library, assist the designers with selecting finishes (surface materials and hardware/plumbing), communicate with reps and vendors, stage for photo shoots, and prepare client deliverables in Photoshop.

Getting an education was an essential for me in addition to gaining real world experience. I’m now halfway through an accredited graduate level program through UCLA’s Interior Design Foundation Certificate.

After eighteen courses, I’ll have knowledge in:

AutoCAD, Revit & SketchUp
Adobe Photoshop & Illustrator
Commercial & Residential Interior Architecture
History of Environmental Arts

Freehand Drafting
Color Theory
Lighting Design
Surface Materials

I am looking to gain experience in a variety of spheres within design such as residential, commercial, home staging, digital drafting and more. If you have opportunities at your company I’d love to connect via email or LinkedIn!
