List 3 words that describe design: necessary, inspiring, powerful 

3What project are you most proud of? There are so many.  I have been blessed to work with AMAZING clients.  Their visions and aspirations have allowed me to be part of spectacular projects, in all shapes, sizes and budgets.  A few are: Duke Energy Center, SPX, Mullen Advertising, Parker Poe-Raleigh, Culp Inc., UBS, and the Chamber of Commerce.
 
What are you currently reading?  Lots!  My bedside table is always piled high.  I just finished Loving Frank, a novel about Frank Lloyd Wright and am in the middle of David & Goliath by Malcolm Gladwell, and the Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin.  As for magazines,a  few of my favorites are Fast Company, Elle D�cor, and Azure.
 
Why interior design? 

I selected it when I was 17 applying for college.  Amazingly, I Never looked back. I t is a perfect profession for a creative, extrovert like me, who believes in the power of great design.  Every day brings new opportunities and challenges.  It is NEVER boring and I'm always learning.

 

What is your design style?  Clean and crisp, with an authentic edge. I f my design does not reflect the uniqueness of each and every client, I haven't done my job.

 

3 things you cannot live without:  My sweet and awesome family, books, and getting my hands dirty...did I mention I like to garden?
