Expertise: 24 years ago I began working in the back office of a furniture store learning that part of the business. It was during that time that I realized my love for colors, patterns and design. I would often go out into the store and help the designers with their projects. I began my training in window treatments which I did solely for several years. From there, I continued my on the job training expanding into residential Interior Design so that I could design entire rooms instead of just the window treatments. I have been doing that ever since. I get such joy out of creating beautiful spaces for those who can't do it on their own.
