About 

Senior Associate Designer
As a design professional for the past 18 years, I have a breadth and depth of experience leading projects creatively from the initial client briefing through detail design packages and on-site supervision. I am highly skilled in concept generation, client relations, team management and key aspects of project management.

For the past 11 years as an Associate Senior Designer for RTKL in London, I have provided a lead design and team leadership role on a multitude of diverse projects throughout the world, including new commercial retail projects, large renovation initiatives, hospitality and healthcare, as well as numerous boutique projects such as events, restaurants and entertainment venues.

I bring a particular passion and unique understanding of cultural context on projects both from working closely with professional colleagues and clients from around the world, language skills (fluent in English, French and Spanish) as well as extensive personal and professional travel.

Education

I joined l'Ecole Supérieure d'Arts Graphiques et d'Architecture Intérieure (ESAG) in 1991 because of their excellent curriculum and reputation that suited perfectly my interests in photography, graphic design and mostly interior architecture. I was advanced one year for my excellent grades and was trained in a wide variety of disciplines ranging from architecture, technical design, graphic arts, photography, illustration, live drawing and interior architecture.
In 1993 I was selected to participate in the exchange program ERASMUS with the Royal College of Arts of London -UK where I spent eight months in the post-graduate program for Interior Architecture.
I graduated with honours in June 1994.
