• Stakeholder Engagement: Ability to proactively engage with key stakeholders and partner with cross-functional teams to deliver on project objectives while effectively communicating decisions.
• Visual Communication: Ability to create 2D furniture plans and 3D renderings to help stakeholders visualize applications before procurement.
• FF&E Budgeting: Proficiency in cost-estimating and value engineering furniture packages to meet project budgets without compromising design intent.
• Software Proficiency: Precise drawing production utilizing AutoCAD and Revit to produce furniture, signage, and artwork plans.
