Confident and capable of taking on ANY challenge. As a seasoned designer with a high conversion ratio and a magnetic personality, there is no one who works harder than I do. I am simultaneously creative/organized, conceptual/strategic, and detail oriented/big-picture-focused with articulate communication and social skills. I excel when leading, and working within a team in a busy atmosphere to facilitate clients’ interactions by anticipating and responding to their needs. I put forth and encourage an attitude of positive professionalism, while upholding standards of quality, cutting edge style coherent within my brands manifesto. I am a talented and collaborative leader interested in creating innovative and sustainable business objective while providing quality control over contract concepts, products and projects across multiple platforms and media emphasizing social networking thus advancing brand strategy on macro and micro levels. My proven track record averages over 3 million annually with 75% attributed to contact & trade. I have an established aptitude for developing relationships, closing and monitoring deadlines and budgets closely while adhering to recognized sales projections. Relevant experience includes custom furniture, interior & classical architecture and all styles of decoration including modern, contemporary and traditional with an emphasis on color and art history and art sales.
