About Me

I confess that I started out life as the messy artist type (evidence below).

I’ve always had a thing for color, line and texture, but my artsy stirrings turned into a growing love of fabric, furnishings and wall paint.

After working in furniture sales, mentoring with a north bay interior design firm, and studying design on my own, I decided to fly solo in 1999.

LITTLE KNOWN FACTS ABOUT ME
  • I chew my food thoroughly.
  • I (mostly) cured my own spider phobia.
  • I once served President Bush (Dubl-yah) at a formal occasion while simultaneously directing a team of 33 waiters. Yes, this means I used to be a waiter. And it also means I know what good service looks like. He drinks non-alcoholic beer, btw.
  • My hair is not that long. Those are extensions. Plus I wear glasses.
  • I thrive in a house full of cats and have the sexiest husband anyone could want.
