I was exposed early in life to the world of design. My father built custom homes and my mother assisted with the floor plans and interior decorating. I was fortunate to have had great mentors who supported my creativity. At age 9 I won a prize in a community art competition for a drawing. At age 12 I began rearranging the furnishings, accessories and art work in the homes for those I babysat. They liked what I did. As I entered the adult world, I was a account representative for numerous high end fashion houses such as Chanel and Christian Dior. Twenty years of retail lead me into becoming a corporate event theme designer for an event production company. Gardening has always been a passion of mine so I took a break from the corporate life and worked at a wholesale nursery where I learned to design plantings and urban landscapes for multiple apartment complexes, city centers and hotels. I've worn many hats as they say, yet, all of what I've mentioned here, along with many not mentioned, each relates to the world of design which is; Figuring out what's being asked, figuring out how it can be done and then… creating it. I look forward to assisting you with your plans and striving to creating your visions with, and for you.

Furniture has always been a powerful draw in my life.As a teen, I pored over Architectural Digest and home-interior magazines, losing myself for hours in a world of beautiful objects. My first job out of college was stuffing pillows in a custom-furniture business. Later, when things bottomed out for me in the early nineties with a stay in drug rehab, it was factory work at a furniture plant that saved my life. No longer on the sidelines drooling over glossy pictures or fulfilling a mindless unskilled task, I was where the real action was, building something. Table tops and drawer panels, to be specific. I worked the glue reel; a huge automated clamping machine. The job was physically demanding and I loved it. Fast forward to 2005. A medical emergency struck: my right leg had a deep vein thrombosis that kept me confined to a brutal hospital bed for 5 days. I'd heard stories of people who died from blood clots and got spooked. I questioned what I wanted from my future, and started out with a first step of rearranging my apartment, revitalizing a stagnant space by stirring up the energy. I needed a coffee table and went shopping but found nothing I cared for, so I built one. Then another. The process thrilled me and time became nonexistent. The only problem was my apartment became a dust collection system. I needed more space. And I needed more tools to make this stuff because ideas were flooding my head so fast I felt schizophrenic. I needed a.....could I say the word? 'shop.' I made one phone call and a month later I met a cabinetmaker-turned-philanthropist, John S. After a brief tour of his shop John handed me the keys. Now this was no ordinary shop. Everything I needed/wanted was available: saws, drills, taps/dies, routers, even a dust collection system.
