As a child, rearranging furniture was like play time. Once my Mom suggested Interior Design, I took a course in college and knew from the first lecture that was the career for me. From that time on, I focused my education on becoming a successful designer.

I came to Designing Whims in 2002 while still attending college. My education included the study abroad program in Italy on History of Art and Architecture. My AA and bachelor’s level in design is from OCC and my certificate from the Interior Design Institute in Newport Beach.

I enjoy the process of working with clients from beginning to end. Whether it’s a simple window treatment or a custom built house. My goal is creating an atmosphere that allows them to relax and feel comfortable; starting with getting to know them, finding out what they are trying to achieve, and then helping them expedite the process.

One of my main goals in designing for a client is picking their brain to find out what makes them happy. Then giving them options that work for the space. In the end, it’s their design and I’ve just simplified the process.

I thrive on change and love making each client unique. Function and durability are always a must. Then of course comes the aesthetics. A design wouldn’t be complete without it being beautiful and functional to the client.
