Best explained as a designer a la carte. I meet you where you are based on your specific needs. If you'd like me to simply create a design concept and hand you the reigns, I can do that. If you'd like absolutely nothing to do with the design process other than to tell me colors you love, I can do that too. I have done many different projects over the years from "fluffing" a space to taking spaces down to the studs and rebuilding as well as assisting with finish and furnishing selections on new builds. I get really excited when I can turn a space into something more than you imagined and you have a new area in your home you love.

I assisted various designers in projects as needed. I maintained finish samples for the studio that included managing discontinued fabrics, wallpaper and rug swatches. I received, inspected and priced inventory. Maintained relationships with vendors. Occasionally merchandised the showroom with accessories, furnishings and artwork.

Assigned various tasks from creating purchase orders and invoices to selecting finishes for a design concept. Managed inventory, project timelines and purchases. Utilized Quickbooks for light accounting tasks. Assisted with installations of design projects.
