Hi, I’m

Nancy Forman

Summary

I am a very creative person and have been creating beauty all my life in many fields, from my early beginnings in fashion retail shops, then a long career in Home Remodeling, primarily Kitchen & Bath Design.

I assisted clients in every aspect of re-inventing their homes from designing the spaces to accommodate functional cabinetry and furniture, to completing the overall theme with flooring, tile, hardware, plumbing fixtures paint and lighting.

I implemented forms and systems to successfully make the job process move efficiently.

Currently have a Organization and Rejuvenating business where I help people with services to update their homes.

I also am a Professional Fine Art Photographer, with my Art showing at Shops and Gallery's across the country.
