  • Jun 2019 - Present

  Lead Interior designer on K-12 Education projects. I work closely with districts throughout Texas to achieve their goals on new facilities, facility replacements, renovations, and additions. I regularly work with firm principals, project directors, and the entire architectural & design team to ensure great collaboration. Project involvement as early as schematic design through project completion. Roles include client user meetings, design development, finish selections, documentation, coordination with consultants such as MEP, Structural, Acoustical, Food Service, Furniture Dealers and more. I have a passion for what I do and feel so blessed to have the opportunity to do what I love on the daily. Every design, every project, they all have an impact on a user's experience. I want these to be the best experiences possible. Districts include Allen ISD, Arlington ISD, Lake Dallas ISD, Waxahachie ISD, Pilot Point ISD, Liberty Hill ISD, and some work in Plano ISD.
