It is my true passion to help others find delight and experience happiness in the home that they live in. Teaching others to do it for themselves is a huge part of that.
I own my own Color and Design Business and have helped countless people decorate, design, and find the perfect paint colors for their homes. Taking the stress off of my clients and making design completely attainable is my biggest motivation.
I have had the opportunity to create my own Paint Color System that I am able to use everyday in not only my Online Color Consultations but in my In-Home Consultations in the city that I live in. I use simple formulas that I created myself to simplify the decorating process for any part of the home. I love teaching these formulas and my Paint Color System to others, so that they feel equipped and confident. These formulas and systems are exactly what I teach in my classes, so I can't wait to teach you too!
I have been featured on HGTV, designed countless homes for some of the top realtors and businesses where I live, and now my focus is on Udemy. It is my mission to bring you with the best training and learning so that you can design, decorate and choose paint colors for your own dream home or for others if you are wanting to start your own business.
I am not formally educated in Interior Design but rather all of my expertise comes from having great mentors and many years of on-the-job experience. I have thoroughly equipped myself through self-taught education and have loved every minute of it.
I am so looking forward to seeing you in class!
