Accredited through the Interior Arrangement and Design Association and as a Real Estate Enhancement Specialist (RES), I have assisted dozens of clients to create beautiful spaces in their homes. My greatest pleasures are a result of seeing the reaction on a client's face when they discover the true potential of their home and belongings.

Community Involvement

Community projects include over 4 years as volunteer design coordinator for Blue Spruce Habitat for Humanity and design consultation for the new Park County Crisis Center. I am an active Executive Committee member of the Women of Evergreen Businesses organization, and am a regular contributor to Mountain Connection, a publication devoted to life in the mountain communities surrounding Evergreen, Colorado. My work has been featured in national design publications which include Mountain Living and Boulder County Home & Garden magazines, in addition to being published in regional publications.

Background

My formal training at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) followed a childhood immersed in art and design. I completed my first design projects at an early age, creating lavish homes for my dolls with shoe boxes and clippings from the Sears and Roebuck catalog. As a child, I spent summers in Europe visiting family and was inspired by the beauty of the landscapes, the magnificence of the castles and the charm of old world architecture. I truly believe that these early encounters played a significant role in fostering my love of design.

Growing up in upstate New York, I followed my natural instinct as an artist - painting and drawing, spending most of my school years in the art room creating. My lifetime of experiences has shown me that my creativity and passion for design is a gift that comes from within, with much thanks to my parents for both their artistic heritage and their encouragement!
