Mies van der Rohe said that “God is in the details.” I say, also, that details give a room its soul or personality. My goal is to satisfy my client, completing the job to the smallest important detail!

A previous career in the fashion industry gives me knowledge of style and proportion and a strong sense of color for interior design. I have completed numerous residential and commercial projects in Kansas City as well as second home projects throughout the United States.
