AS THE OPERATOR OF A STEEL TEAL-BLUE SPOTLIGHT, DURING MY SECOND GRADE GRAMMAR SCHOOL TALENT SHOW, I DISCOVERED THE ART OF SHAPING EMOTIONS THROUGH LIGHT. THE ABILITY TO MORPH THE SIZE, SHAPE, WIDTH, AND COLOR OF THE BEAM OF LIGHT ALLOWED ME TO SET THE TONE, LOOK, AND FEEL FOR EACH PERFORMANCE. THIS PIVOTAL MOMENT IS ETCHED IN MY CORE MEMORY AND IT’S WHEN I FIRST TAPPED INTO THE POWER OF CREATING AN EXPERIENCE FOR AN AUDIENCE.

HIGH SCHOOL UNFOLDED A GROUNDBREAKING THEATER WHERE CATWALKS, AN ORCHESTRA PIT, RIGGING SYSTEM, SCENE SHOP, SOUND BOOTH AND LIGHTING BOOTH BECAME MY HOME. FROM LIGHTING DANCERS TO DIRECTING PERFORMANCES, I EXPLORED THE WORLD OF PRODUCTION KNOWING THERE WAS SOMETHING BIGGER. FROM HERE, I PURSUED A DEGREE IN TELEVISION ARTS, FOCUSED ON DIRECTING, PRODUCING, AND PRODUCTION DESIGN.

THE CULMINATION OF MY DREAMS LED ME TO THE CREATIVE REALMS OF HARPO STUDIOS IN CHICAGO, WHERE I SPENT NEARLY A DECADE WORKING BEHIND THE SCENES WITH LUMINARIES LIKE OPRAH WINFREY, STEVE HARVEY, AND ABC NETWORK. FROM WRITING AND PRODUCING TELEVISION TO SET DECORATION AND PROP MASTERY, I REVELED IN THE ART OF STORYTELLING BOTH IN CHICAGO AND HOLLYWOOD, LOS ANGELES.

MY DESIRE FOR SHARING AN EXPERIENCE EXTENDS BEYOND THE SCREEN. INTERIOR DESIGN HAS ALWAYS BEEN A CALLING, AND SINCE CHILDHOOD, I'VE PAINTED, DECORATED, AND REIMAGINED SPACES FOR FAMILY, FRIENDS AND CLIENTS. FOR ME, CREATING AN EXPERIENCE IN ONE'S HOME, THE MOST SACRED SPACE – IS MY GREATEST PASSION.

TODAY, MY FOCUS IS ON REFINING THE ART OF CREATING TIMELESS, CLASSIC, AND BEAUTIFUL SPACES THAT EXUDE AN EASY, APPROACHABLE, AND COLLECTED FEEL. I WANT TO MAKE EVERYTHING AROUND ME BEAUTIFUL.
