As an Environmental Designer for over 10 years, I’ve had the opportunity to create design concepts for a wide variety of industries. I excel in unifying brand language, integrating compelling visual aesthetics, and storytelling to create impactful functional experiences.
My European educational foundation in Industrial Design and Fine Arts provided a launch pad for my career. I started working as an Exhibit Designer on international and domestic projects. My experience evolved to include clients from transportation to health care and from experiential installations (trade shows and mobile tours) to architectural and interior design, show rooms and commercial spaces. I’ve worked at Jack Morton Worldwide, George P. Johnson, and Dimensional Communications on diverse clients that include Reebok, Mercedes-Benz (developing national exhibit programs), Ferrari, Maserati, Disney, LG Electronics, McLaren, New York State (designing 13 regional welcome centers), and many more.
I’ve always been part of fast-paced fabrication and production processes and am comfortable leading projects from initial sketches and digital presentations to final control drawings and material selection. I have extensive experience collaborating with design, digital, and production partners. I also have enormous capacity and a strong working knowledge of budgets and timelines.
Today’s challenging times open new opportunities for seamless integration of design ideas, 3D concepts, and virtual interactive technologies to create immersive and unique solutions. My computer tools include Autodesk 3DS MAX V-Ray, UE, Twinmotion, Adobe Graphic Suite: Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, SketchUp, Corel Graphic Suite and more.
My work has been recognized with four international awards and has been honored in over 20 publications.
