With over 18 years of experience in project management and interior design, I am a versatile and creative professional who can handle various aspects of retail operations and design. As a Project Manager at Barnes & Noble College, I oversee the development, implementation, and execution of store design projects, ensuring that they meet the company's standards, goals, and vision. I also collaborate with internal and external stakeholders, such as vendors, contractors, architects, and store managers, to deliver high-quality and cost-effective solutions that enhance the customer experience and brand identity. In addition, I have a strong background in interior design, which I leveraged in my previous roles as a Project Supervisor at Design Learned Inc. and a Committee Director at Rose Arts Festival. I have a keen eye for detail, color, and aesthetics, and I can assist clients and partners with various elements of design, such as flooring, finish, equipment, and layout. I am passionate about creating functional, attractive, and sustainable spaces that reflect the needs and preferences of the end-users. I am always eager to learn new skills, explore new ideas, and embrace new challenges in the dynamic and evolving field of retail and design.
