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.

A non-for-profit agency, Humble Design seeks to change the lives of families that have suffered job loss, illness or abuse, which forced them out of their homes and into homeless shelters. Detroit-based social workers in turn, contact Humble, suggesting a family deserving of our skills and services. As an Interior Designer, I met with clients to understand their needs for the homes, assessed the actual space and implemented furniture to fill up their new home!

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
