A dynamic and detail-oriented design professional, I bring a distinctive blend of creative vision and practical expertise to retail store design. With a solid foundation in Fine Arts from a prestigious university and a recent certification in Interior Design, I am currently advancing my skills through ongoing studies in Project Management. In my current professional role as a Design Consultant at CB2, I specialize in advising on interiors that prioritize both style and practicality, closely aligning with current market trends and consumer preferences.
During my tenure assisting the Corporate Realtor at Rogers Telecommunications, I gained invaluable insights into the complexities of opening new retail stores. This brief but intensive experience involved working closely with city officials, designers, architects, and construction teams, enhancing my understanding of regulatory compliance, stakeholder coordination, and the practical challenges of aligning design initiatives with a cohesive brand identity.
Within the Project Cost and Resource management course assignment, focused on a major innovative highway project on the North Shore, announced by the provincial government, I honed my skills and experience in cost and resource management:
• Drafted comprehensive contracts for a significant highway project, exhibiting proficient contract creation skills.
• Developed a thorough Work Breakdown Structure, highlighting expertise in project management and deliverable mapping.
• Estimated project costs, managed main cost drivers, and determined contingency for high-risk activities, demonstrating excellence in project budgeting and financial planning.
• As the appointed Visual Merchandiser for BC, I held the responsibility for the innovative design, planning, and showcasing of products, playing a key role in the creation and maintenance of appealing store displays.
