Growing up in a creative artsy household made me the designer I am today.  From a very young age I was in and out of peoples homes helping my mom on different wallpapering and painting jobs.  Everyone from my elementary art teacher to my College painting instructor has inspired me to appreciate beautiful things.  I love to create rooms that people can entertain in, families can relax in, and most importantly rooms that are enjoyable to the eye as well as perfectly functional for everyday life!  Working with my clients and building lasting relationships has been by far one of my favorite parts of being a designer at by Design in Des Moines and ccino in Omaha for the  last four years.  I would love to help you bring your perfect dream room to life :)
