I was born in Ohio but spent most of my adult life traveling throughout the United States, the Caribbean, and Central America where I eventually settled for 20 years. While in Costa Rica, I designed and built several homes in addition to creating a number of businesses.

My design experience includes a clothing line, custom furniture, stained and frosted glass for my residential projects and businesses. I also designed jewelry for two fine jewelry stores which I founded and managed for over 15 years.

Since my move to Ft Lauderdale in 1995, I have purchased, updated, remodeled and sold homes. Four years ago I opened my studio Urban Interiors and Design. As a consultant and designer, I am able to combine my business savvy and most importantly my design expertise to create a beautiful, comfortable, and enjoyable living space for my clients.
