About Me

I have been designing interiors for as long as I can remember. As one of those kids who always wanted to be an interior decorator, I started my career while still in college in Southern California designing model homes for multiple firms in Orange County and Los Angeles.  

As we moved into the 21st century. I headed over to the east side of the Rocky Moutains and enjoyed some fresh air. I continued designing interiors for new home buyers and expanded into residential design while starting my own company specializing in model home merchandising.

Since the pandemic, I have relocated again, but this time to “the other west coast” settling in sunny Southwest Florida! 

I love to travel and explore new exciting places. Follow my blog for updates on what I am doing and the new places I’m experiencing.

As a result of being married to a Trekkie, I have seen just about every episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation including all of the movies, most on opening night in the theaters. (Wasn’t the episode about the Typhon Expanse great?!) I have to draw the line at the Shatner TV series, though. That’s just too campy for me.

I cry very easily. As a result, I’m extremely dependable when it comes to crying at weddings. I once went with my ex-boyfriend to his ex-girlfriend’s wedding and wept uncontrollably through the whole ceremony. It didn’t matter that I had never met her before that day. I attribute this to the whole Moon in Pisces thing. (See #7)
