Background

This is not my first career but my talent for it began to show at an early age when I began winning national design and sewing awards as a freshman in high-school.  I earned my way through college by working for major cosmetic firms such as Estee Lauder and Merle Norman.  I learned a lot about color and the psychology of color.  After college, my career path led to education where I began as a teacher, then an educational diagnostician and finally school administrator.  Finally, I decided to return to what I love to do and that is the niche market of design and fabrication of fine custom home décor.   I truly enjoy designing and crafting beautiful, exquisite custom home décor.

Qualifications

A graduate of New York School of Interior Design, with a Masters of Science and Bachelor of Business Degree both from Texas A&M . I found my true passion at the Custom Home Furnishings Academy in Charlotte, North Carolina. It is the oldest and largest facility for training in high-end custom home décor fabrication. In summary, this is the place where the people in their field who want to be the best, train and learn from the finest in the industry. Many of the instructors at the Custom Home Furnishings Academy are published in notable design publications such as Window Treatments Beautiful Draperies and Curtains for the Home by Brian D. Coleman and Scalamandre Luxurious Home Interiors by Brian D. Coleman. I am so proud to have had the opportunity to study there.
