The objects and natural elements that surround us each day connect us to our lives and the people we share them with. I am inspired by living spaces (both inside and out), social gatherings, natural elements, and the pattern and color that envelops it all.
I am a native of Cleveland, Ohio, currently living in Cypress, Texas -just outside of Houston. I earned my bachelor degree in Fashion Design from The University of Cincinnati (College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning). After graduating, I worked for ten years as a designer, eight of which were with Ralph Lauren in NYC. I left my dream job to raise my three children. We have moved five times with my husband's job, our latest in 2012 to Houston. Finally settled, and the kids more independent, I got back to creating.
