Summary

As a dedicated interior designer with a background in Fine Arts and a completed Interior Design certificate, I am passionate about creating spaces that tell a story. My experience as an Interior Design Consultant at CB2 has been transformative, allowing me to work closely with clients to understand their needs, translate their visions into cohesive designs, and bring spaces to life with both functionality and beauty. This role sharpened my skills in spatial planning, material selection, and project coordination, while deepening my understanding of how design can influence the way people feel, live, and connect with their environment. I am now ready to take the next step in my career, where I can contribute my creativity, technical expertise, and strong client-centered approach. I am driven by the belief that great design isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about creating environments that inspire, elevate, and leave a lasting impression. My goal is to collaborate with visionary teams, contribute to meaningful projects, and continue growing as a designer who makes a difference through thoughtful, impactful design.
