From an early age, I was drawn to art—whether sketching, painting, pottery, or sculpture—creativity has always been at the heart of who I am. I vividly remember rearranging furniture, painting my walls, and constantly reimagining my bedroom. That early fascination with transforming spaces naturally evolved into a lifelong passion for interior design.

Originally from New York, I moved to South Florida after high school and earned my Associate’s Degree in General Studies from Broward College, where I also studied architecture and interior design. I later received a Degree in Interior Design from the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale.

Following graduation, I apprenticed with several award-winning residential interior design firms between 1988 and 1996. In 1996, I returned to New York to work with a corporate interior design firm, focusing on office environments before transitioning into sales as an A&D representative specializing in stone, ceramic, and porcelain. This experience deepened my technical knowledge and allowed me to collaborate closely with architects and designers to bring creative visions to life.

In 2003, I relocated to Toronto, Canada, where I started a family and reentered the design industry in 2008 as an A&D representative for a company specializing in architectural finishes.

After 14 years in that role, I chose to return to my true passion—interior design. Today, I draw on decades of experience, creativity, and technical expertise to create spaces that are both beautiful and highly functional.

The rest, as they say, is history.
