Owner/ Designer (High End Residential – Hospitality – Furniture Design)

HAUS OF SHUGAR

Jul 2024 - Current (2 years 1 month)

At Haus of Shugar, I lead with a deep understanding of both architecture and interior design—shaping spaces that are conceptually bold, technically precise, and deeply intentional. With over a decade of experience managing large-scale residential and hospitality projects, I bring hands-on expertise across every phase of a build: from design development and custom furniture design to permitting, procurement, and on-site construction coordination. My work bridges creative vision with construction fluency—grounding each project in thoughtful detailing, spatial clarity, and elevated functionality.

The Wedge Gallery – A Space for Experimentation: Resides in a sliver of the School of Architecture on the Woodbury campus and acts as an exhibition venue for the Los Angeles location. My goal as director and curator was to bring in professionals with various design disciplines from photographers, fashion designers, architects, and interior designers to exhibit and lecture on their work. It was a great opportunity to curate and facilitate events that engaged the student and faculty population while also bringing more cultural, environmental, and formal awareness to all aspects in the design industry.
