I have been interested in interior design for many years. Although I work with design through a manufacturer, Cambria, I am always intrigued by the use of fabrics, stone, a multitude of materials, and seeing the final results. I have been in the design industry for 5-plus years, currently with Cambria and previously premium audio and video with Magnolia.

My day-to-day is filled with meeting residential and commercial designers, kitchen and bath showrooms, architects, and many more industry partners. This includes in-person presentations, sample fulfillment, discussing new design launches, learning lunches, discussing Cambria, and networking with so many amazing people.  

Meeting new people day in and day out. There are so many awesome members in the design community with different backgrounds, experiences, and knowledge; you can learn so much from each person you meet and are lucky enough to have a conversation with. 

Jamie is set to take over as NKBA Manhattan Chapter Communication Chair in 2024

I love being part of a team, and a team player. I have served on the NKBA Council since August 2022, and once I heard NKBA Manhattan would have a board opening for Communications, I could not pass up the opportunity. Communication is truly the heart and soul of any organization. I'm excited to work with this Board of Directors, our chapter sponsors, and our extraordinary members. I look forward to getting to know new designers and industry partners and expanding my relationships with those I know.  

When asked for a piece of advice, Jamie shared this

Always get comfortable by being uncomfortable! Never stop taking those chances in your professional or personal life. Once you start becoming experienced and feeling more comfortable, start taking on something new, continuing your growth personally and professionally.
