Through Fox Den Projects, I provide independent project management and operations consulting for residential design-build and renovation projects. I work directly with homeowners, architects, builders, and designers to manage schedules, budgets, contracts, procurement, vendor coordination, and the hundreds of details between a design concept and a finished space.

My most recent engagement was with a custom home builder in the Finger Lakes region, where I was brought in to build business operations infrastructure from the ground up. Over eight months, I created a preconstruction services model that converted extensive uncompensated estimating work into a structured, billable engagement, and wrote the full package: a client-facing process brochure, preconstruction services agreement, and a comprehensive construction contract modeled on AIA standards and vetted by counsel with minimal revisions. I set up and ran Adobe Sign for the full contract workflow, managed bid solicitation and subcontractor insurance across trade categories, and coordinated HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and finish trades directly on site. I replaced scattered, undocumented communication with structured meeting protocols, built material selections tracking and scheduling systems across 30+ categories mapped to construction milestones, and served as the operational hub between company leadership, homeowners, designers, and trade partners across six concurrent residential builds. All of it ran from the construction documents: architectural drawings, finish plans, and elevations informed the selections schedule, the bid packages, and the trade contracts.

My longest-running engagement is with a Boston-based client whose portfolio spans six residences. Since 2015, I've managed five phases of a historic Colonial Revival renovation in Milton, MA alongside architects and general contractors, plus additional projects across Milton, Mattapoisett, Hull, West Boylston, and Vermont. I have been the client's interior designer since 2015, providing the interior design, sourcing, and procurement for each phase and writing the FF&E specifications. Scope has ranged from full interior renovations and historic preservation work to investment property upgrades and landscape and hardscape design coordination.
