ARCHITECTURE IS NOT ONLY WHAT I WORK ON, IT IS WHAT I LOVE TO DO.
As the lead project designer, I am passionate about telling stories through 3D visualization in my work. I have focused my career on strengthening culture by creating conceptual spaces that elevate clients’ brands. My ability to imagine and integrate form, color, and attention to detail allows me to provide innovative design solutions that align with clients’ culture, values, and needs. I have experience in various design sectors, such as corporate office, science and technology, higher education, and hospitality, which enables me to develop unique and unexpected design solutions.
I perceive interior design as an art form and a way of life, my expertise lies in digital modeling and digital illustration. With my background in architecture, I excel in space planning, detailing, and construction documentation and administration.

The Shopping Center Group, headquartered in Atlanta, is a large, retail-only real estate company, with national reach, providing a full assortment of advisory services to tenants, landlords, developers, investors, and financial institutions.
TSCG recognizes their people and culture drive the company’s success. Renewing their lease, in a tower overlooking Atlanta’s new SunTrust stadium, where the Braves play, TSCG decided to renovate in place.
A focused, informal, and fun team, their goal was an environment their people want to work and “play” together in, not only as colleagues but also as friends. The design concept is inspired by the nature of their work: Retail is fun, social, therapeutic, interactive, entertaining, relaxing, cool, welcoming, attractive, business! The response to the client’s goals was to rethink how their space was allocated. Mobility, work processes and people’s current preferences being different seven years later, we identified ways to reinvent environment and attitude. Looking for optimal connection points at arrival and throughout the day, we focused on “high impact” opportunities to create a fresh, informal, and current vibe. A “branded” arrival brings together familiar retail elements like expressive graphics, and neon signage, connecting with what they do.
Relaxed and varied get-together venues, refreshment, and a decidedly cool style, speak to TSCG’s culture. A new, spacious work-life lounge, with ping-pong, Foosball and a swing, is their “’hang out” space where the team comes together to work, relax, and refresh. The workplace is a visual expression of who they are and what they do. Without a doubt they have fun doing it.
