For nearly four decades, I've had the privilege of helping people create beautiful, functional homes through thoughtful interior design. Since beginning my career in 1986, I've worked with some of the most respected names in retail, including Bloomingdale's, Marshall Field's, and Macy's, while leading design projects from the Florida Keys to New York, throughout the Midwest, and as far west as California.
In 2008, I developed Oriental Rug Basics: Form, Fashion & Function, a learning module for the Textiles Program at Harrington College of Design in Chicago. While rugs have always been one of my specialties, my passion has grown far beyond any single design element. Throughout my career, I've collaborated with homeowners and top-tier interior designers on projects of every size, discovering that creating a truly exceptional space isn't about choosing one perfect piece—it's about bringing every element together in harmony.
From furniture, lighting, paint, flooring, and window treatments to artwork, accessories, and area rugs, I believe every detail should work together to create a home that feels balanced, inviting, and uniquely yours. My mission has always been to simplify the design process, eliminate uncertainty, and help clients confidently transform their vision into a home they'll love for years to come.

I don’t thank people for their “business”, that’s so impersonal! I thank you for allowing me the privilege of getting to know you, and allowing me to become your friend. You see this isn’t just a job to me, it’s a way of life!
