During the last 7 years as an Estimator and Project Manager at Modern Interiors, I have developed knowledge in the architectural fabric acoustical ceilings and walls industry

and collaborated in the design process and estimation of great acoustical ceilings and walls for many architectural firms and acoustic consultants, always helping the customer to achieve the design and look they are pursuing between their budgets. One of my fortes is the value engineering that I was able to provide to their projects, either by simplifying designs or proposing different finishes, when necessary, while meeting their expectations.
