Tell me about a project or accomplishment that you
consider significant in your career
Receiving the trademark certificate for my
“Designing With A Deadline” tag line and process for my firm

What are the rewards from your work

Allowing our clients to see how beauty changes their life. Every-time we do a full installation we receive a text, an email or a phone call the next day letting us know how happy they are, how they could never imagine their home could look or feel like that or how beautiful it makes them feel. How great is that to be able to share that with people!?!

I love it!
