Interior Design is my passion and has been for many years! I have always told my clients that I will make their rooms come alive! Interior Design is truly the art of listening and compiling your client’s desires into a living environment that will be comfortable and ecstatically beautiful for many years to come.

My expertise in interpersonal communication skills is very commendable. I have had the opportunity to be in the company of:
  • President Carter through the League of Women Voters
  • Many Corporate Executives, including Macabar (sub of Exxon in Houston, Texas, where I designed their offices)
  • The Entire Board of M.D. Anderson Hospital, where I made the presentation to design their lobbies
  • The infamous "OJ" when he was with the Buffalo Bills
  • The Niagara Frontier Building Association Apartment Building and a few individual homes
Being an Allied Member of ASID has kept me abreast of all the latest trends, as well as my subscriptions to many Shelter Magazines. A copy of my resume is enclosed.
