So, how did I get started in redesign? Life has many paths you can choose to follow, and any time, I had sort of the ‘fork in the road’ decision to make – I always chose the unsafe path, figuring if things didn’t work out, I could always go back to the safe choice. And you know what I learned, life does work out just fine – I have had a chance to travel a good bit, see the world, learn lots of new skills and try things out of my comfort zone. So, here’s a little bit about my background and how I found the field of interior redesign.
I have an education degree and love
teaching & helping people learn new things.
After teaching for a bit, I decided to strike out and try a different path, and I went to work for a software company hoping to get to run the education department one day.
Life had other plans –
it was a small company and everyone pitched in, and I found myself one day – calling customers and talking to them about our new software and customers were agreeing to upgrade over the phone – and that began my career in software sales. So for ten years I was selling various types of software solutions to businesses. |

While I was doing that, I always had a need to
nurture my creative side – so I’ve done every type of arts & crafts you can think of, I’ve decorated homes, I’ve dappled in fashion design and enjoyed exploring all the different areas of the art world.
After carefully considering all the different creative areas I have explored,
I kept coming back to designing and decorating – I really enjoy it –
so the next question was now what can I do to turn that into a business.
And so I researched the internet, read books & magazines and finally, I found the area of redesign and it just ‘clicked’ for me.
Here you have the opportunity to work with clients and the items they have collected over time. You aren’t trying to get them to buy everything new, but acknowledging they have items they love, and perhaps they just need some guidance as to what to do with ‘all their stuff’, and that’s where interior redesign can make all the difference.
I wanted a career that was flexible with family, but that would let me still grow and develop a business that was all my own.
I am so blessed - redesign and staging have provided me with a wonderful career doing what I love! And now I teach others to help them do the same thing.
