Working for Gary Lee was a highlight of my career, an excellent firm to start. I started out as an intern managing the library and was brought on as a designer upon graduation. I quickly climbed the ladder to a more Senior level, despite my few years in the industry. I worked on designing and managing residential projects as well as workplace, hospitality and retail, both national and international. I was one of the Lead designers for their furniture line, Chai Ming Studios as well as for other companies such as Halcon and Cumberland. A few years into my career, they transferred me to New York to help start their new studio there as our business was growing in Manhattan and they needed someone to help oversee projects in the area that was able to meet company and brand expectations.*Designed for residential, corporate workplace, hospitality, and retail clients.*Managed project budgets, schedules, and maintained close client communication.*Designed furniture and products for Chai Ming Studios, Cumberland, and Halcon.*Led creative teams for project reviews and design critiques.*Assisted in marketing and PR coordination for the firm and Chai Ming Studios.
