THE WORLD OF INTERIORS IS AN IMMENSE PASSION OF MINE. I EMBRACE THE CHALLENGE OF INTEGRATING FUNCTION WITH COMFORT AND STYLE, TO CREATE A SPACE THAT REFLECTS THE UNIQUE NEEDS AND PERSONALITY OF EACH CLIENT. EARLY IN MY CAREER I GAINED EXPERIENCE TAKING ON VARIOUS FREELANCE PROJECTS AND ALSO WORKED AS A DESIGN ASSISTANT FOR FIRMS SUCH AS NICOLE BENVENISTE INTERIOR DESIGN AND JULIA GAMBLE HOME TEXTILES. THESE EXPERIENCES LED ME TO THE OPPORTUNITY OF BECOMING A MEMBER OF THE PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT TEAM AT THE POTTERY BARN DESIGN STUDIO. FOR THREE YEARS I WAS ON THE PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT TEAM FOR POTTERY BARN AND MY ROLE APPLIED TO BOTH THE MAIN AND BED AND BATH BRANDS. I HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF WORKING WITHIN A UNIQUE GROUP THAT COVERED SEVERAL CATEGORIES INCLUDING BEDROOM FURNITURE, LIGHTING, BATHROOM FURNITURE AND FIXTURES, HOME RENOVATION AND WINDOW HARDWARE. IN OUR PROCESS WE FORMED SEASONAL CONCEPTS FROM SKETCHES ON PAPER AND DETAILED CADs, ALL THE WAY TO PRODUCTS SOLD ONLINE AND IN RETAIL SPACES. IT WAS AN AMAZING OPPORTUNITY TO WORK CLOSELY WITH VPs SUCH AS MONICA BHARGAVA AND BRETT KLADNEY.
