Mercedes Dishaw

I’m a design and operations consultant with expertise in project management, proposal development, and specification formatting. I support design teams through every stage - from concept planning and coordination with architects to equipment selection, documentation, and QA/QC reviews.

I also provide administrative and marketing support, including RFQ preparation, branding, and social media coordination. My approach blends precision, efficiency, and strong communication to keep complex projects on track and clients well-informed.

I have over a decade of experience in project coordination, supporting architects, engineers, and school districts through every stage of facility planning and execution. My work includes developing RFQs and proposals, formatting specifications, coordinating design drawings, and managing assessments.

I’m skilled in project management, client communication, and design documentation - regularly using tools such as FileMaker, Bluebeam, Smartsheet, and InDesign to keep projects organized and efficient. I’m also experienced in marketing coordination, branding, and website management, providing a well-rounded understanding of both the technical and creative sides of design.

I studied Business Administration and Project Management, building a foundation in operations, organizational leadership, and client relations. My ongoing professional development includes certifications and training in design standards, equipment specification, and marketing communications.
