Hi!

 

My name is Kalu, and I’m an interior design graduate with a passion for materials, furniture, and sustainable design. In my current role, I manage over 30 custom upholstery and soft furnishings projects for interior designers—overseeing timelines, coordinating materials, ensuring quality, and maintaining clear communication from concept to delivery. My career goal is to become an interior designer and sustainability specialist, a path that led me to pursue an M.S. in Sustainable Design at Thomas Jefferson University.

​

During my internships at Augusta Hoffman Studio and Lindsay Walsh Interior Design, I supported senior designers on residential projects by producing CAD drawings, sourcing materials, finishes, and FF&E, and preparing polished presentations and project binders.

​

I bring strong problem-solving, organizational, and time management skills to every project, grounded in professionalism, ethics, and adaptability. If you’d like to collaborate or discuss opportunities, you can reach me at kalulihj@gmail.com!
