Since joining IA in September of 2018, I've had the pleasure of working to create incredible work spaces for some of our largest, global accounts including Salesforce, Spaces, Amazon, and Santander Consumer.
Due to NDAs, I am unable to provide images or details about these projects.

Taking on the unique role of technical lead for the interiors studio, I have focused on the effectiveness and efficiency of delivering documentation packages and forging strong relationships with clients and contractors from concept through construction administration.
At OMNIPLAN, I have served as a REVIT/BIM and Sustainability Champion. I assist our BIM manager and technology group with testing software and validating it for firm-wide use. As sustainability champion, I have created an Sustainability Action Plan (SAP) for the firm based on AIA guidelines and the Framework for Design Excellence. I focus on supporting the effort of shifting the firm's culture towards sustainable design by incorporating the concepts into our internal education efforts and creating new goals and milestones in our design processes.

Interior Designer
Sports, Entertainment and Hospitality Venues
Working on some of largest and most complicated projects in the world at the time, HKS offered exposure to incredibly unique design opportunities and challenges. Learning to operate on large teams with many moving parts, required quick comprehension and adoption of Revit modeling techniques and BIM conventions.
I actively worked within the interiors team focusing on creating impactful spaces that would create experiences for the guests and serve as revenue driving components in the overall venue. I learned to create spaces that understood the functionality requirements for extensive operational needs while balancing the understanding that these venues are places where people make memories and we were adding a a special layer of beauty to that experience.
Interior Design Intern
Hospitality
My first opportunity to work on a small design team. We focused on boutique hotels, creating strong concepts and developing the ideas into a full journey that linked all elements of the design and property together. I participated in and supported the team from concept development to documentation.
This position was an amazing opportunity to learn the process and gain exposure to working with clients to explore and develop their ideas and bring them to life.
