My First Blog

Yep, this is my very first blog. I think it will be a great step forward! My hopes are for you all to get to know me and more about what I do.

These are some of my thoughts for the blog...
-Showcase "project highlights" that show details about a project I have done
-Feature "new products" that I find fun and interesting
-Show "green" ideas and how easy they are to integrate into any project
-Update you on what I have learned in my continuing education


So first things first...here is a little info about me. I went to college to study Fashion Merchandising, which included taking classes in a sister degree, home furnishings. When I decided to take some extra classes in this area, I found I really enjoyed design. I took a class in kitchen design and found my true passion! I graduated from the University of Memphis
with a degree in Home Furnishings and was 1 class shy of a double major in Fashion Merchandising. My first job in kitchens was with Home Depot. After working there for 5 1/2 years, I was ready to move on. One of my greatest achievements was in attaining my certification as a Certified Kitchen Designer from the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA) in 2004. I truly enjoy the networking and continuing education. I then worked for various locations of Creative Kitchens, until I decided to go out on my own and free-lance. After 10 years of experience, I have really enjoyed this decision! And the rest, as they say, is history! Pin It
