Through-out my 35 plus years of designing interiors nationwide from shoe stores, hair salons to Fortune 100 corporate interiors and custom residential, I have experienced the 'power of design'to influence moods, affect behaviors, inspires, transforms, and improves daily quality of life!I believe every project is unique along with the space, the client's desires, requirements and appreciations.The valuable elements I have acquired over the years are effective listening, communicator,innovative problem solver, highly organized with a positive attitude and strong work ethics.
