STYLE IS A SIMPLE WAY OF SAYING COMPLICATED THINGS: Prior to the World Wide Web, my grandmother’s only resource for inspiration was the Sears catalog. She had the ability to look at a dress, make a pattern, and sew it. I was fortunate to grow up where her ability to create and make a house a home transgressed the ages. Assistant to the Director of Cowlitz Indian Tribal Housing provided me the experience to learn many facets of housing rehab, American Disabilities Act modifications, rental property, new construction and senior living. Extensive training and networking with industry experts I have learned how something seemingly insignificant like paint color effects the aging eyes and nostalgic décor helps senior’s memory! Fascinated by the transformation that occurs on any project I enjoy meeting new clients getting my head around their vision, and assisting with the design and selection process. I will often ask “what makes you feel good”, “what do you envision when you see yourself in the space” and then assist with developing that. I am as passionate in both service and product knowledge whether is be a large project or a simple backsplash. My hobbies include working with leather, horseback riding, and sewing for my own home and grand babies
