Work History

Interior Design Project Manager

Panda Kitchen & Bath Expo Center
01.2019 - 01.2023

As the On-Site Sales Manager at the Virginia Beach showroom, I was responsible for designing custom kitchen and bathroom renovations using 20/20 software. I created detailed budget proposals using QuickBooks software, negotiated project contracts with clients, and ensured accurate records of payments, credits, and change orders for each account.

I met with clients to assist in selecting materials and processed orders prior to project initiation. Additionally, I managed the scheduling of contractors, electricians, plumbers, and inspections through Google Calendar. Throughout the project, I maintained clear and consistent communication with homeowners, providing regular updates.

Upon project completion, I compiled a punch list of remaining tasks and finalized any outstanding account balances.
