Operations Manager / Interior Designer

History

From Minneapolis to Milwaukee, and around the world in between, I have come a long way to break into the Interior Design industry. Born and raised in Minneapolis, I moved to Milwaukee for college and also spent two semesters studying abroad and teaching in China. After earning a Bachelors Degree in International Studies from UWM, I had the opportunity to work as a study abroad advisor, and then worked in retail management. After this varied work history, I longed to find a new career path. As a result, I returned to school to learn new and specialized skills that would allow me to utilize past experiences in different ways. With an Associate Degree in Interior Design, I am happy to say I have found my calling. I enjoy working one-on-one with my clients to find solutions for their design challenges.

In addition to client work, I have recently added Operations Manager to my repertoire. As the business grows, I am happy to lend my management experience to the team as I also contribute to the company's success behind-the-scenes. As my career evolves, I am lucky to have the support of my loving husband Greg, my son Samuel, and my parents and sisters living in Minneapolis and Iowa. I am looking forward to the many challenges ahead and am dedicated to always finding creative solutions in both work and life.

Design Philosophy

I approach each project as a new and exciting challenge, no matter how small or large it may be. My ultimate goal with each client is to create a design footprint that meets their needs, lifestyle and pocketbook. To achieve this, I have the educational background and professional experience to draw on, but also recognize that the Interior Design industry is constantly evolving and that I will grow with it.
