About Me:

I am an accredited interior designer and project manager with over 10 years of professional experience in projects ranging from ambulatory care and corporate campus clinics to elite healthcare facilities. I have a passion for blending hospitality with healthcare and creating impactful spaces with involvementin every phase of a project from programming and master planning to furniture, artworkand signage.

My latest career endeavor was pioneering the Interior Design Management program with Stanford University Medical Center. Stanford is experiencing its largest period of growth with the construction of a new Adultand Children’s Hospital as well as significant expansion in their outpatient health centers. My role was dedicated to partnering with Stanford’sarchitectural and design consultants to ensure that we achievedour design brand and quality consistently between projects.

In 2009 I was a part of the core design team for the Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi. The client’s objective for the project was to build the world’s first 7 star hospital and achieve LEED Gold in the process. With a focus on the highest level of modern luxury and sustainability, we were pushed to innovate and find new ways of addressing the old problems of infection control, maintenance and durability.

Design is my passion and I take great pride in providing excellent service and follow through. I am dedicated to achieving the goals of each client and I have a never-ending desire to evolve with lessons learned.
