As a decorating consultant who specializes in residential and light commercial design, I work with each customer on a personal basis to deliver fresh, innovative design in a cost effective and timely basis.
My work, while reflecting the utmost in professionalism, is always accented by my keen sense of customer service.
I offer sensitivity and appreciation of my customers needs regarding their individual taste as they seek my comprehensive advice on everything from basic coordination of interior and exterior paint selections to floor coverings, cabinet styles and finishes, counter top surfaces along with whole house furniture, lighting and window treatment design applications.
My broad work experience spans more than 25 years of retail sales, including real estate, mid to high end furniture sales and professional picture framing. I have built my own highly successful decorating and consulting business for the last 10 years and I am incorporated in both Florida and Georgia.
My work has been featured in two publications, Orlando Business Journal Executive Living August 1, 2007, pp. 6-8, 35-36, and Views Magazine Summer 2007 pp. 31-39.

I will come to your house or office for an initial overview of your intended project. This meeting typically lasts 1-2 hours. In that time I will walk with you through all areas of your home to discuss your decorating needs. In the case of commercial decorating, I will review project plans and architectural designs, designate location of project and discuss project needs.
This initial consultation provides a no risk opportunity for us to meet each other and determine how your project needs will be met.
Once we have decided to go forward, Phase One will be implemented by taking photographs of pertinent areas so that I can follow through with specific plans. A written response will be sent to you along with an estimated budget for your project. The response generally provides you with an outline of the design plans and will act as a guide through out the project. A complementary follow-up meeting is provided to give you an opportunity to give feedback as well as ask any questions regarding the design plan and budget.
During this phase of the project, paint selections, space planning, and project selections will be made. I will present you with a comprehensive selection of fabrics, colors, finishes, furniture, styles, etc.
The installation process is usually handled as items are received. By request, it is possible to install an entire room, entire home or commercial project at one time. I realize the design process can be intimidating. My goal is to lead you step by step through the project. My relationship with clients is truly ongoing. I will work with you to ensure that your goals are achieved in a cost effective and timely basis. Most projects can be completed in stages to accommodate your needs.
