Philosophy:   The interior design of your home is a very personal thing. These very personal places should reflect your tastes, your personality and, of course, your needs. Another premise, as far as I am concerned, is to have the most beautiful and expensive looking space possible; however, let's not spend one cent that we don't have to spend. I have always believed in finding and using the best items available for the least amount of money.

   was an English literature and history major the first time around, but I was always doing the "decorating" thing and always helping friends and family. I decided to go back to school and get a degree in interior design and to learn why I was doing things the way I was doing them. This, of course, was most enlightening.

   fter three extensive years of education, I embarked on my "new" career---that was 20 years ago. I began as a commercial designer and worked for an office equipment retailer. Here I worked on projects, which included industrial plants, corporate offices, educational facilities, law and accounting firms among others---also, a few residential projects.

   fter a few years, I decided to start my own residential design firm, and that's where I've been for the past 14 years. I have worked on all sorts of projects from complete renovations to simple furniture arrangements in one room. Sometimes, the simplest thing can make the most impact in the way your interiors look and function. The main thing to remember is to have fun and enjoy designing and decorating your home or office. When you are finished, sit back, take pride in and enjoy the wonderful environment of your "new" home.
