What accomplishment or project so far in your career are you most proud of? I am most proud of my role as Interior Designer on the new ZoomInfo office in Waltham, MA – my largest project to date. It was a pleasure to help bring the client’s vision to life, creating a distinctive and sophisticated space they are proud to call home. The process was highly collaborative, working closely with the broader team to ensure a cohesive and thoughtfully designed space. This accomplishment is especially meaningful to me as it represents both my growth as a designer and my ability to deliver impactful, large-scale environments.

What trends or opportunities do you see shaping the future of your industry?

A trend I see shaping the future of commercial real estate and design is the integration of more greenery into both urban environments and workplaces. We’re starting to blend buildings with nature by incorporating more rooftop gardens and green walls, as well as improving the greenery lining streets, making concrete jungles feel more human. I see design continuing to shift towards creating spaces that feel vibrant, positively impact cities, and foster workplaces and neighborhoods where people want to spend time.
