I have worked in interior design since graduating from college. I began to move my emphasis to the outdoor in 1999. I have owned my own business for the last sixteen years specializing in both interior spaces and outdoor spaces that connect architecturally. I have been involved with designing a healing garden for a local hospital and worked with both contractors and other designers in promoting our industry. I've had the opportunity to judge landscapes projects for CLCA throughout northern California.I like to design residences from the inside out starting with a site plan and working my way through the whole process.Specialties: I specialize in custom residential design both inside and out. I believe that working on space planning and layout for my clients is one of the most important aspects of design. I enjoy designing outdoor spaces that include areas that clients enjoy using such as fireplaces, fire pits, outdoor kitchens, water features, pools, arbors, shade structures gazebos and loggias.
