I’m known for creating beautiful interiors, using color and texture. My clients are happy during the transformation and with the end result. Communication skills have played a key role in building that relationship for success. • Develop strong client relationships. As an example: starting with the purchase of a dining table, not only did I end up designing ALL the interiors, but became the expert and advisor during shopping excursions in the US and Europe. The home appeared in two publications: Seattle Homes and Lifestyles and Scalamandre – Luxurious Home Interiors.• Creatively balance client demands with vendor availability and delivery. With clear communication and diligent follow-up, I see the project through to completion.• Often called upon for my expertise as the textile guru by colleagues and other professionals. A Client was about to abandon her project when her Architect called me in to create a Master Bedroom of calm and beauty. I was successful – the project proceeded on schedule and client was delighted.• Multi-building project capitalized into further projecs. I was hired to create the interiors for an Early American “Farmstead” in Washington State. Article appeared in Country Home. The Clients were so delighted with the results and the process that, once that project was completed, I was asked to freshen up the interiors of the Client’s other homes – one a Craftsman-style bungalow on a lake in addition to their vintage Air Stream.

My education in/exposure to luxurious fabrics began with representing Scalamandre – one of the oldest and most revered textile houses in America. Not only did I present what’s new, I also educated my audience on the benefits and how to sell it to their clients. • Increased Designer purchases by 14% due to my relentless and contagious enthusiasm, creating a welcoming and unique experience for them• Implemented Designer Concierge Service: Schemed fabrics, wallpapers, trims for specific projects• Conducted training and product knowledge seminars

Combining the climate of a retail selling floor and the desire to create something out of the ordinary served to fuel my passion for creating unique and custom projects for my clients. • Increased Client portfolio by 80%• Developed in-home design program in addition to what was available from the store• Designed rooms for “Street of Dreams” new home tours
