About

Experience & Approach

​

I have over 13 years of professional employment experience as a project designer and coordinator with various firms in the San Francisco Bay Area, collaborating on projects across multiple sectors and all phases. I also hold a Master’s degree in Architecture and Urban Design. My thoughtful, open, and direct connections with clients, consultants, and vendors are built on strong interpersonal skills, forming a solid foundation for lasting relationships.

​

My passion stems from improving the environments of professionals working in healthcare settings, particularly those who spend most of their days in poorly lit, colorless, and outdated facilities. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing the surprise and delight on their faces when they realize what is possible—even with the tightest 'no-budget-for-design' constraints.

​

I have lived in San Francisco and Alameda for over twenty years, and I believe that my commitment to long-term relationships with the companies I have worked with fosters lasting collaboration. I always strive to strengthen the team dynamic, rather than divide it, and to keep service at the forefront.
