Previous
Custom Cabinet Designer: My job included managing the showroom and educating new clients on the materials and options. Specializing in smaller custom cabinet projects, garage designs, and customized spaces, I loved to infuse creativity into projects like wine storage rooms, bespoke baking cabinets, and high luxury His and Hers closets. I even got to design a special closet for a beloved little dog for all of her outfits and accessories!
Owner, general contractor of a custom garage design business: My husband and I started from the ground up a contracting business where we consulted with homeowners, came up with custom designed solutions for their sports equipment and belongings using cabinetry, overhead storage racks, wall storage systems, and epoxy floors. I was a member of the National Organization of Professional Organizers. Our business won awards on the Tour of Homes and had one of our garages featured in an article in Time Magazine.
House rehabs - I have been involved with complete remodels on about a half dozen homes. I love the process of making a plan, working with a budget with the aim being an updated but classic and timeless look to appeal to the widest audience. The results were rave reviews when we went to sell.
Other Info
