More Info About Me
I am a graduate of BS Interior Design from University of Santo Tomas (Philippines) and a Licensed Interior Designer. I have 4 years experience as a Virtual Interior Designer with a US based Company (Italian Kitchen Design) and 12 years experience in Project Management and Construction Management in the Philippines.
I used to be a Virtual Interior Designer back in 2012, I did drawings of kitchen cabinets, vanity cabinets and other modulars, I also did their proposals and at times, 3d models of the cabinets for better visualization of clients. Being a Virtual Interior Designer then, gave me the opportunity of flexible time to work and as well as to study for my Licensure Exam, -- fortunately, I passed the exam. Having the eagerness to learn more, I decided to explore the corporate world, I started being in a Rank and File position, slowly climbed the ladder to Supervisor, and now to Assistant Manager.
With all my experiences both virtual and on corporate world, I believe that I can do and complete tasks given to me with SMART goals and beyond ordinary. I am also keen on details and has initiative to perform tasks that would be helpful to the business.
