Since 1983 I have been providing space planning and interior design services to commercial clients. As a certified interior designer, I focused on the connection between facility design and organizational success. Understanding an organization’s strategic plan, goals and culture helps create a strong facility design that will allow an organization to achieve its goals. This belief drove me to earn an M.S. in Organization and Management from Antioch New England Graduate School, augmenting my interior design and architecture education and allowing me to provide further services to my clients.Nationally recognized for my efforts to attain legislation for interior designers, I worked on behalf of the National Council for Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ), American Society of Interior Designers (ASID), Council for Interior Design Accreditation (CIDA, formerly FIDER), International Interior Design Association (IIDA) and the Maine Interior Design Association (MIDA). I have been an advocate for collaboration among the architectural, engineering and interior design professions, I believe that a team that includes the client, contractor, designers and other professionals from the beginning of a project creates the strongest result. I am a public speaker and accomplished writer, and also serve as adjunct faculty to several New England schools.
