About 24 years ago, my husband and I purchased our first house. We were young and so in love, just like we are now.

It is always such a joy to me when a client that I've worked with before calls me again!
The husband had a terrible accident a few years back and now has a titanium back. He spent a year in the hospital and they almost lost him several times. They gained a new perspective on life and home and have downsized to a one story home since he cannot go up stairs anymore. This is where I come in! They hired me to come in for the day and decorate their new home "using what they have."

"Rave Reviews" Award
Feeling very honored today after receiving an award last night at the 5 year anniversary party for Houzz. It was a great event at Pirch in Dallas.
If you haven't heard of Houzz, you definitely must know about it! They are a platform for home remodeling and design, bringing homeowners and home professionals together in a uniquely visual community.
I have been a part of Houzz since 2010 and have built my design profile which has 37 of my projects and 57 reviews. Besides my website, Houzz is where most people land when searching for an Interior Designer in their area. It is also where my clients go to review me after we have completed their job.
Houzz is a platform that I use every day. It has been an incredibly useful tool for me as a designer. My clients are able to save photos to idea books that we can then discuss in detail during their consultation. They can write notes with each photo to help them remember why they saved that particular photo. I find that having photos that the client can show me that they like or dislike helps me define their design style more efficiently.
