While living in New Hampshire, she owned a design firm and regularly published articles in the State Newspaper. More recently, after re-locating her business here to New Jersey, she has completed the redesign of large scale hospitality spaces, but will still find the time to meet with a client and consult on a window treatment project. Approachable, as well as professional, clients feel very much at ease with her in charge of their most important projects. Her skills include specifying materials and finishes for new homes, and kitchen and bath design.
