FAQs

Fine Arts Degree from Syracuse University with a concentration in design and textiles.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I realized I had a gift for art at an early age. I began drawing as a young girl, and realized I had an eye for color and detail. I would create outfiits, various projects for school (including costumes and sets for plays), displays, even home-made greeting cards. I just loved art, and the ability it gave me to express myself creatively. I received an art scholarship to college, and entered Syracuse University's College for Visual and Performing Arts. It was there, I was able to hone in on one area of design, and it was interiors! I began designing textiles... wallpaper, bedding, and other interior surfaces. That quickly evolved into an instant love affair with interior design.
