Unlike most girls growing up, my summers were spent on various construction sites with my father. I learned from an early age to think, to draw, and to dream in three dimension. I remember the day I realized interior design was a real career; when that brilliant light bulb moment happened, I knew that was what I wanted to do and be. I have taken so many life lessons from those childhood summers with my father, but the main lesson was to always take pride in your work, and most importantly hard work will always lead to your dreams.
