I was voted Best Interior Design 2007 by CitySearch. I possess a unique combination of skills to offer not only a full spectrum of interior design services for residential and small business clients, but also to lead the project management. I work with the finest craftsmen and contractors in the area, schedule and manage each stage from start to finish to ensure that the result reflects all of my client's wishes within the budget they were comfortable with and time line all parties agreed to. Most importantly, my involvement ensures that the project is beautifully done and done right the first time.

My kitchen designs are as functional as they are astonishing. I am a member of NKBA and working toward my CKBD (Certified Kitchen and Bath designer) accreditation. I design dazzling master bedroom suites, rejuvenating bathroom suites, and comfortable changing rooms.

My experience living in and designing small yet functional spaces in Europe enriches my designs where I am able to effortlessly bridge past styles of craftsmanship with modern conveniences to accommodate clients' plans for the future.

My commercial interiors symbolically convey meaning by creating a specific dynamic around a corporate image - conservative, trustworthy, high-pace, casual, upbeat, philanthropic, etc. An MBA, in addition to a design degree, allows me as a Principal Designer to accurately access the needs of small business or condo development and create a design concept that is consistent with the marketing and branding strategy; flawlessly creating a visual experience that will attract and help retain qualified clients.

I feel that a Designer's value is not limited to providing access to products or materials, but it's her professional training and experience, innate sense of style, and vision for the space-to-be that distinguishes her among the others. All of my clients receive my undivided "personal stylist" commitment to provide 360 degrees of luxury service in the world of design.

My passion is to turn someone's residence into their home, the place that reflects their family's lifestyles and addresses their current and future needs. I am skilled in both contemporary and traditional design and offer services ranging from color consultations to complete design package for primary and vacation homes, yachts and small businesses.

To spread the word about my services to homeowners, condo-owners, and small businesses.

I earned my MBA (Master in Business Administration) from Seattle University and Residential Design degree from Art Institute of Seattle.

As a Principal Designer, I have owned the company for almost four years, have more than ten years experience in the textile industry, and over five in high-end project management. I am an active member in good standing with ASID (American Society of Interior Designers), National Kitchen and Bath Association and American Institute of Architects. In other words, I am foremost a professional within the interior design industry committed to quality, ethical professional conduct, and exceptional design solutions.
