I can't think of a time in my life where art and design haven't played a role.  I grew up in a modern home in the -70's.  My parents are both creative people.  My dad, worked as an architect and urban planner and my mom had a passion for painting and fashion design.  By no accident, our family lived in Reston, VA which was one of the first planned communities.  I grew up playing with my parents' drafting, painting and drawing tools as toys and still consider them as such.  

I have lived in many cities throughout my life including Houston, South Bend (college), Florence, Los Angeles (twice), New York City (Brooklyn-grad school), Chicago and Sarasota.  I currently own my own Interior Design|Graphic Design firm in Tampa, Florida. I dabble in metalsmithing and painting any chance I can get.

I have a passion for really anything that engages the creative psyche....art, design, music, architecture, writing...I am inspired by and drawn to anyone who taps into these elements.  

This blog is a collection of my own reflections and things that inspire me.  I hope you enjoy it.
