Boldly, fearlessly, and in the face of the conventional wisdom of the day, I founded a Woman Owned Small Business (WOSB), award-winning commercial interior design firm. The desire to learn and constantly seek to embrace the leading edge as an early adopter of new technology, innovative management methods and compelling design strategies and concepts consistently deliver results exceeding client expectations.Are meta-data analytics the better benchmark for judging success? Are input, raw data-points, and success equal and proportional? Do data-driven metrics, without the warm heartbeat of beauty and optimism, produce cold, soulless, ineffective and inefficient built environments?Experience, insight, vision, inspiration cannot be found in a spreadsheet. Embracing change within industries and market places are fulcrums of opportunity for inspired, built environments that communicate authentic branding thru creative visual language. Ideas of the future that do not exist yet are born from components and heritage of the past. Experience includes and transcends what is towards what can be.My “proof of success”, is in the long-term, repeat clients and referrals who feel that the end result of deliverables is not only a return on invested (ROI) dollar, but the intangible ROI of a thoughtful spacial environment that respects the brand and engages staff and guests in a compelling experience of space and place.

A Georgia-based private, non-profit foundation with initiatives focused on cutting-edge delivery methods and technologies for healthcare and education on a global scale. The mission is to positively impact the lives and well-being of one billion people.My experience and affiliation with AHEAD Foundation was pure serendipity. My world-view expanded to understanding the impact that visionary proportions of scalable, global-reach initiatives in healthcare and education have in changing the world.My contributions, and successes, stretched my comfort-zones into embracing new skills and applying existing knowledge in novel, unexpected ways.My business skills were honed and polished in the mundane back-of-house corporate housecleaning and housekeeping of budgets, corporate formation and compliance of international for-profit organizations. My organizational skills restored order out of chaos with document filing and establishing a systematic approach to recordkeeping and accountability. My wordsmithing skills were employed in rescuing and creating an accurate, on-point branding and messaging content of the existing websites that had suffered under the well-intentioned hands of others. My researching skills and natural inquisitive curiosity was unleashed on marketing research for new, for-profit business opportunities within the framework of trending healthcare delivery systems and new technologies. My leadership and emotional-intelligence skills were enhanced and empowered in an organizational structure with volunteers that required both technical direction and encouragement to push past their fears and to grow personally and professionally.
