i am a design junkie

I've been consumed with many aspects of design from a very young age. This innate love of all that is design incites me to want to see and know more. I find myself constantly thinking, researching, and talking about design which I find is somewhat annoying to my friends and family.

i am a design pupil. It's my view that one should never stop learning. Design in any form is always changing and evolving. Given that I have design ADD makes me a willing student. I gain inspiration from many sources including fashion, architecture, graphic design, furniture design, and styling just to name a few.

i am a design mentor. I have always adhered to the theory that what I learn, I share. My intent in doing this is to expand the knowledge base of my clients thus giving them the tools to define their own personal style. I believe there is never "one" perfect style choice. Design is all about the possibilities. You just have to be open to them.

i am a color fanatic. With my design ADD comes an ability to see the many different hues of any given color naked to the normal human eye. Well, maybe not to that extreme. The point is that there is a world of color out there that people don't realize. Red isn't the only "bright" color; yellow isn't the only "cheerful" color, and "grey" doesn't have to mean something depressing.

i am a creative realist. First and foremost your space needs to be functional and conform to your lifestyle. I get that. With that said, you can also have a space with personality. I have a good knowledge of construction and space planning which keeps me aware of the flow and function of your space at all times. Your space should reflect the seamless marriage of the two.

i am definitely an idealist. I often have my own views and perspectives on varying topics. I most definitely have opinions. I am very much a perfectionist which I view mostly as a positive. What I hope most though is to help my clients make their design style be realized and come to fruition. From where I'm standing, the vhues are amazing!
