Project Management Services
I am a real estate development, architecture and interior design project manager with a focus on sustainability. I have been designing and creating spaces since childhood and I have been managing projects professionally for fifteen years. I have a collaborative and holistic approach to design and development. I look to traditional construction methods and classical design as well as to modern technology and contemporary aesthetics to create functional spaces that are also eco-friendly, healthy, and inspiring with timeless style. I work closely with clients and colleagues and I lead design build teams, guiding projects from concept through completion, delivering exceptionally well-constructed and creatively, thoughtfully, and sustainably designed and built spaces.
I have an excellent background of education and work experience in real estate development and a diverse portfolio of quality projects showing a wide range of project management skills. For fifteen years I have been developing my professional career, building a solid foundation of knowledge, skill, artistry, and experience in real estate development, construction and engineering, architecture and interior design, and sustainability. I have trained with and worked for top firms, contractors, and designers in the industry, including Marcus, Platinum Properties, Molyneux Studio, and Dickinson Cameron.
I grew up in New York City in a family of artists and designers, builders, and engineers. It was a great balance of form and function. I have been immersed in art and design, construction and engineering my whole life, and I have been designing and building since childhood. I am a student of history, anthropology, law, and design build. I love travel, culture, history, and our natural environments. I have traveled all across the United States and to a dozen different countries. I find great inspiration for my work while roaming a museum or a market, while taking a hike or exploring nature. From Mayan ruins to European palaces to Buddhist temples, I love to experience the built environment firsthand. I am constantly inspired by, and I have great respect for, our collective world history of architecture and design. And from this unique background, I developed a career in design build, an international eclectic aesthetic, and a sustainable and abundant world view.
I have had a natural interest in architecture, engineering, construction, and interior design since my youth. And that interest has developed into a passion for modern, innovative, conscious, and sustainable development. I am also an environmentalist, a student of history and anthropology, and I love to travel. And all of these aspects inform my design and build process.
As a project manager, I plan and lead design, build, and decorate projects. I work closely with clients to tailor a process that best fits their project type, budget, and scale. I oversee design, sourcing, and contracting, and I manage projects through completion. I maintain a creative process, open, honest communication, and forward momentum. And I ensure that projects are managed professionally, on time and in budget, with quality execution and with exceptional attention to construction and detail.
As a designer, I aim to realize a client's vision beyond their expectations. Architecture and interior design are collaborative art forms. I love to work with a client's inspiration, aesthetic, and functional needs. I combine these with my own style; sustainable, classical, minimalist, and international eclectic. All colorfully influenced by nature, art, and culture to create dramatic and unique spaces.
