About 

I believe interior design has infinite potential. Design has the ability to do anything from communicating the attitude of a business, to inspiring the individuals who will use the space on a daily basis. Interior design is all about making a statement, but the fun part is evoking emotion, serving function, and doing my part to save the planet along the way.
