Summary

I have over 20 years experience in various aspects of Interior Design and Residential Construction. I am a member of the NKBA and the NTCA. I am not the average designer. Yes, I love making colors work, adding textiles, tile, cabinetry, and counter top details that dazzle. However, I am not afraid to be in the field and get my hands dirty. I am well versed in the various systems and understand codes. I have owned my own business and built my own house as a single mom. I have fortitude, knowledge that only comes with experience, and a personable demeanor.
