Though my Mom nudged me to be a nurse as far back as I can remember, she also encouraged my interest in art. I definitely had talent and was a creative child. And being around Mom made me more so. She was incredibly creative and it always seemed to me that there was nothing she couldn’t do.

Even though I initially went to school to be a nurse, it’s really no surprise I ended up in interior design. I come from a long line of creatives and do-it-yourselfers. Growing up there was always a project going on at my house or at the house of one of my extended family members who lived nearby.
