I am a Michigan State University Alumni with a Bachelor of Art degree in Interior Design since June of 1994. I am also a proud NCIDQ certificate holder since 2012. My specialty is AutoCAD & CAP designer.

My design career began in the furniture dealership world. During my dealership days, I worked with Herman Miller, Knoll & Steelcase. I was with Steelcase for over 13 years & had the benefit of their amazing training programs at the beginning of my career to set me on the right track. My projects at the dealerships included new business, corporate & healthcare design. For (2) years I was an onsite designer at University of Michigan hospital & campus where I proudly displayed my Michigan State gear for all to see.

In early 2009, I started working for CaZador as an Interior Designer in the beginning stages of IO&T development. When the executive team left to form SIOTS, I was hired on to lead the design effort for their first project at Yokota Air Force Base in Japan. During my time at SIOTS I have had the pleasure of designing hospitals, clinics, labs & various other spaces for the DoD all over the world. I feel it is a privilege that I get to give back to those that serve and have served in the armed forces. My dad, uncles & nephew are all veterans, so this is very close to my heart.

I’m a native Michigander and currently reside in Beverly Hills, MI (a suburb of Detroit). When I’m not working, I enjoy being outdoors in our pool, playing tennis, attending professional tennis tournaments, have friends & family over for a barbecue, traveling, and spending time with my family and friends.
