About 

A Volunteer State Native, I believe there is no better place on earth to live and work.  The beauty of Appalachia provides the most spectacular design backdrops, and continuously inspires creativity.  I love making a client's vision a reality, and designing spaces that are more beautiful than they could have ever initially envisioned. My goal is to find one of a kind products that reflect each client's personality, and create spaces as unique as the individual that resides there.

Experience

I have been practicing Interior Design professionally for over twenty years, with experience in all types of commercial and residential design including Healthcare, Hospitality, Assisted Living, Veterinary, Educational, Worship and Corporate markets.  I have a Bachelor's Degree in Interior Design from the University of Tennessee, am NCIDQ, GoDBE and SWAM Certified, and am a Registered Interior Designer in the State of Tennessee.  With advanced AutoCAD and 3D rendering capabilities, I have expertise in Architectural, Property Management, Facility Management and Contractor Support.  I provide FFE options using the most current materials on the market. Not only am I responsible for initially specifying finishes, but I have also had the opportunity to see how they perform during a life cycle of use.  This knowledge ensures the spaces I design will maintain their beauty for years to come and protect the client's initial product investment.  I am known for designing very unique interiors with an eye catching element that is cutting edge, yet maintaining a timeless feel.

Skills

My skill set includes:  space planning, finish selections, finish plans, specifications, furniture and upholstery selections, accent lighting, art and accessory packages, graphic design, signage, way finding concept, space allocation planning, digital floor plan conversion, custom millwork detail, commercial code compliance, finish and upholstery maintenance coordination, corporate branding, cost estimates, order placement and project management.
