DESIGNER
Summary

I have spent the past 12 years in Chicago starting my career at Condé Nast, working on the Corporate Sales team immersing myself in the publishers luxury brands, including Architectural Digest and Vogue. From there I transitioned to Ad Sales at a tech startup company, StrikeAd, which was later bought by Sizmek; while there I began working toward obtaining a certification in Interior Architecture from the School of the Art Institute Chicago. Currently, I work at Studio Realty Group, a small residential developer, as part of the design team, while also holding my real estate brokers license.

I am an accomplished, self-motivated strategic and creative thinker with excellent organizational skills who is driven to find the best solution to an issue. I have strong project management expertise, and am looking to pursue a position which embraces my design eye while continuing to educate myself with a team I respect.
