I bring over 20 years of industry experience in design and architecture in the DC and national market and have transitioned that knowledge to the related furniture scope. With this background in managing the delivery of commercial spaces I’m able to apply a firm understanding of the client’s financial and business needs. The experience in working with clients to design and build spaces ranging from 4,000 SF – 250,000 SF and space ranging from international corporate headquarters to grass-roots non-for-profits and associations provides a firm understanding of the challenges in supporting the team, managing schedules, and how to maximize delivery within the financial goals. Understanding of how to implement processes, local code requirements, and coordinating with teams around project dynamics enables me to develop creative solutions quickly and the experience in the design industry supports the delivery team through an understanding of their process.
