My creative spirit has driven me in various aspects of my life, including my career path. For many years I was a project manager within the advertising and marketing field, working closely WITH the creative team. But in 2009 I decided I wanted to make the leap to become a designer WITHIN the creative team and have not looked back.

As of recently, I can add another passion to my roster of creative interests. Vintage clothing, furniture, and home decor have always been a personal obsession. But my home and closets are only so big...so I now shop for others and rehome my finds!

My years of project management combined with my wide range of design skills make me an asset to any team or project.
