I am a paint color consultant for interior and exterior colors, both residential and commercial. I am passionate about paint and I pride myself on finding color for my clients that ties everything in their home or space together while delighting them. I save them time and money by eliminating costly trips to the paint store. My tag line is "Get it right the first time". I eliminate frustration and confusion and help those who want color but don't trust their own judgement.

My enthusiasm for color is contagious and I create happiness and harmony for my clients in their sanctuary. Color is the most important design element in establishing mood and style, something we all dream of. It's really wonderful when you have it.

I am always looking for clients, of course, but I also wish for strategic alliance partners. Those would be business people in related industries that I could refer clients to and they would reciprocate. Real estate agents are perfect, painting companies, interior redesign or stagers, flooring and carpet companies, fabric stores, etc.

I spent one full year studying color design and theory at Cornish College of the Arts. I also have a background in management and merchandising at Nordstrom and as a landscape designer. Those are two ways that I trained "my eye". I will be taking a very extensive seminar to further my knowledge and skills in July 2008.

I am just beginning in this business (March 2008) and I have worked for a dozen or so clients who have all told me they were very pleased with the results and feel my service is of high value.
