Interior design and art have been lifetime passions for me. As a child, I would rearrange the furniture in our home so often that my kid brother would avoid me when I called his name; he knew I wanted him to help me move another heavy piece of furniture. As a teenager, I would walk under-construction houses envisioning the spaces being created. I studied art, loved playing with color through various mediums such as paint, pottery, and weaving. Black and white photography became a hobby. You know, the real photography using film. I built a darkroom in the basement of my first home, spending hours processing film and manipulating the images in the dark. I grew up helping my dad fix things around the house, so building things comes intuitively to me. I learned about trees and gardening from my Dad and Grandfather, so my love of creating spaces spills out into the garden. My grandparents lived in a home built in the 1930’s. That is where I came to appreciate the beauty and charm of old homes. So really, my entire childhood was grooming me for this creative, sometimes frustrating, but always inspiring career in design.

I am deeply dedicated to identifying the client’s unique aesthetic, lifestyle, and functional needs, allowing me to tailor an environment that fulfills their aspirations. My past projects include high-end residential projects, medical, financial, and corporate facilities; both new construction and renovation. Most assignments have come from past clients or referrals. I have had the joy of working with exceptional clients!

I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Interior Design from the University of Memphis. I am certified by the National Council for Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ). To support my goal of providing the best service to my clients, I stay up to date on health, safety, and welfare issues affecting the design and construction industry. There is always something new to learn!

The newest source of joy in my life has been becoming a Nana. Can’t wait to pass on this deep appreciation for the beauty that surrounds us…
