Studio M Interiors’ design philosophy was borne of the desire to feel in control in the midst of growing up in a chaotic family. “The design talents of my mother and my aunt & uncle (interior designer and home builder) gave me the opportunity to experience this. The feelings that those spaces invoked in me made me realize that design can carry significant influence over people’s emotions. Strong architectural structure and clean furniture lines gave me a sense of strength, order, and peace. Moody or dramatic creations, such as a dark room or mixed media wall installation, invoked excitement or drama the type of drama you wanted to put on display rather than the type you wanted to conceal. Looking back, I didn’t fully realize until I was an adult how important it is for our environment to reflect the space that we need or desire.”

My life as an Interior Designer started in the sandbox at age 5. My dad had dug out an area in the backyard that was about 6’ x 8’ x 2’ deep and filled it with sand. I would mound the sand up against the sides and shape it into a loveseat, lounge chair and side table so that I could host tea parties for kids, dogs, dolls, horned toads, turtles or anyone else interested in a cup of Kool-Aid and Oreos. It seems that only a few years later, I was employed by an architecture firm in Dallas, working on interiors for corporate headquarters and hospitals.

From there I moved on to an interior design firm that specialized in luxury homes, as well as hospitality and senior living facilities. One of my projects, for retired military in Colorado won a design competition for Senior Living Communities in part for my use of art inspired by WWII aircraft decoration. A resort in Jamaica as well as other properties in the Wyndham and Sheraton chains taught me the particulars of the travel/hospitality industry.
