MEET THE PRESENTER

   Eileen Vitelli is an Operations Management Consultant to architecture and interior design firms. Her focus is on internal firm operations and process management: developing and documenting processes that ensure strong project management and a framework for design teams to execute successful designs. She also supports business development, cultivation of positive client relationships, human resources, and onboarding and training of new staff.

Eileen is an interior designer by training, with 20+ years of experience designing for theatre, hospitality/hotels, restaurants, retail, mixed-use, multi-family, and high-end residential market sectors in the U.S. and abroad.

During her early career she designed and built scenery and props for several live theater companies in DC. Inspired by a love of travel, she then joined the U.S. Department of State, where she designed the homes of diplomats and staff, traveling to more than 30 countries. It was a natural transition to specialize in hotel design next, working for an international hotel chain and for boutique design firms to create comfortable and functional spaces for travelers.
