30 Years of Art and Architectural Branding Design Experience
I started my career life as a Certified Optician at the age of 19, as bland as it may sound, the optical world is highly creative. As an optical stylist, I not only curated peoples’ faces and turned them to run loose in the streets, as walking art, but I also got a unique and creative peek into medical arts, merchandising, and retail trends. I was assisting in purchasing for retail inventory and co-creating branded trunk shows, working with high-end lines like Cartier and Christian Dior. This led to meeting local passionate designers who encouraged me to seek a design degree.
Petrified, almost frozen to make any kind of “crazy single-parent” move, I dove into interior design for my degree. My career in design spans now over 30 years, both for residential and commercial spaces. I thrive on branding that continues through the vertical markets. Researching complex problems, testing the many solutions, and testing the likely applications.
My passion for design really is project-based verses vertical or specialty. I do appreciate large-scale projects where branding and corporate design are all woven together lending careful discovery and impeccable material applications. I like smaller scale spaces for the utilization and manipulation of space and how people interact/buy/consume, work productivity/enjoyment and thriving/advancing/growing in it. Ah! but Retail design! Graphic design and product design/retail branding and not to mention the fast construction time.
Looking to add more meaning to your spaces, I can assist in merging the power of art, research, and empathy to build spaces that serve everyone—because design isn’t just what it looks like; it’s how it heals. I offer unique consultations for individuals and business, each tailored to your needs. Each project will weave an understanding the guiding principles of Healing-Centric Work.
