I was born and raised in Mississippi where Southern graces and hospitality is not just a way of life, it’s practically a religion. I grew up loving fashion and playing with colors, textures, patterns, forms, and layers. Initially, I used my talent and found it very easy to mix and match shirts, pants, and coats. I was always on a budget in those days but managed to be very fashion-forward and ahead of my time. I remember very well in 1981 that I spoke to a gal in my junior year at a University about how she was studying interior design. It sounded like a dream job… Alas, for all my love of everything creative, it was apparent I would need something a “real job” and what is a Mississippi boy to do? I got a business degree and a good paying job in telecommunications. It was not exactly what I wanted to do with my life but I managed several very detail- oriented projects and learned to run and manage a business in a very competitive field. During my initial consultation, beyond finding out what you want from our interior design project, I have you walk me through your day. What do you do first thing in the morning? Do you eat your breakfast standing up in the kitchen or do you make a meal? Do you grab a coffee and head out the door. Which rooms do you go into? How about when you come home? How are you living in your space? Often, I learn as much as I can about a client’s needs and how they live their daily lives. This help me create a space that is beautiful and very tailored to them both functionally and aesthetically.
