    • Model Center Interior Designer
      • Aug 2015 - Nov 2015

      Working with both the development team at Three Squared, Inc. and residential homeowners, I designed and staged the Trumbull Squared Third Floor model center for the filming of HGTV's Container House show. During the construction, I oversaw the material installation and worked on-site with contractors to rush to the finish line. While the film crew was on-site, I did the furniture and decorative installation, prepping the space for the homeowners to move into.

    • Designer
      • Jul 2014 - Aug 2015

      As lead designer for Modern City, I aim to turn apartment buildings into profitable buisiness ventures for clients. Through assessment of target price point for units, neighborhood context and design vision, I lay out the initial aesthetic idea for each renovation or construction project. By pulling inspiration from multiple sources and considering the overall attitude of the city of Detroit, I set Modern City's design apart from other "loft-style" housing options in the city.

Modern City provides low-maintance, comprehensive property management to property owners, as well as consultations on building-design and rehab.

    • Project Coordinator
      • 2012 - Sep 2013

      My role as Project Coordinator on the C Concept Design team centered around a new art museum program called the "Kruizenga Art Museum" that is currently under construction in Holland, Michigan. Starting out as an intern in the firm, I was selected to be Project Coordinator and liaison between the Concept Architect, Architect of Record and the Client. I balanced two schedules and an international time difference to ensure that proper communication was upheld. In addition to acting as liaison, I played a key role in the aesthetic choices chosen for the museum from the exterior cladding material to the interior fixtures and paint colors. I oversaw the layout and design of the outdoor sculpture garden and assisted the future museum director in consideration of artwork placement. Show less
