Today it’s warm enough for the painters the get started on the outside of my latest commercial project, @skylightcreativeideas This transformation is going to be huge!

Wondering where I’ve been lately? I’m hard at work designing my latest commercial space, right in the heart of Main Street Bel Air.

I am so grateful for the many businesses that have trusted me and my talents. Topping off the list are; #saltworksspa #flavorcupcakery #mccomascelebrationoflifecenter #skylightcreativeideas

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. There’s no better validation of a job well done than being hired by a previous client again.

You may recall the project I completed last fall, the McComas Celebration of Life Center. This wonderful family owns several locations throughout the county and I recently have been contracted to give an update to their Bel Air location.

Here’s a short clip of the ribbon cutting ceremony, highlighting my work on the previous project. What an honor, not only to be recognized, but trusted with the design. My heart is full of gratitude!

Gotta love 5 ⭐️ reviews!! Thank you, Todd.

Get to know your designer day 4 I spent years desi

Get to know your designer day 4
I spent years designing, but now decided to create a business. I was confident in my talent & skill but having a talent & building a successful business are 2 different things. I tackled this like I do everything in life, head-on, looking it straight in the eye.

At this time I began to endure some heartbreak in my personal life. My father passed away from mesothelioma and this loss left such a void in my family. He was the constant steady. Our North star that guided our way back home. The thread that sewed the fabric of our family together. This loss left cracks in our foundation & the walls began to crumble. I was left with tremendous loss, burden & heartbreak.

For the sake of my sanity, I threw myself into work. I immersed myself in design. I was like a sponge soaking up everything I could get my hands on. I taught myself design software, learned to floorplan, established relationships with furniture retailers and made a website. I worked with business coaches to establish services, pricing & procedures. I worked 14+ hour days for over 2 years. No exaggeration. If I worked my mind was busy and if my mind was busy I didn’t have to feel and I didn’t want to feel. Work saved me. My business my passion my creativity saved me.

My business was born out of this pain. I found purpose. I learned 10 years of business practices in just over 2. I am convinced that I would not be as successful had I not gone through this. Working with my clients slowly began to heal me. I found a way to channel heartbreak into creativity and pain into purpose. I was feeding my soul.

During the most difficult times I wanted comfort and belonging. Isn’t that what our home should be? Our soft place to land at the end of the day. A place to be you and know you will be loved anyway. A place where you belong. My situation was so personal & will leave a permanent scar. One of those raised, bumpy ones that remains tender & every time you hit it you’re reminded of the injury. Everybody’s got something & this is my “thing.” Someone much wiser than me once said “Let what you go through, grow you.” Sometimes the most beautiful things grow in the darkest of places.

“Get to know your designer” day 2. I graduate

“Get to know your designer” day 2.
I graduated from Salisbury University with a Bachelors of Science in elementary education. I completed my student teaching in Auckland New Zealand, where I lived for 3 months. Returning to the states, I got a job teaching 3rd grade and went on to teach 1st, 5th and preschool. Then spent several years as the Assistant Director of a private school.
By now, I had 3 young children & my husband began to climb the corporate ladder. Climbing said ladder came with moving quite a bit. While living in Florida, I went back to school studying naturopathic health and nutrition which involved extensive training in biomedicine. All things alternative health have always fascinated me! I’ve been known to get stuck in a “rabbit hole” for days researching and reading- for fun! I was trained by duel certified physicians from Europe who were naturopathic physicians and also traditional Western medicine trained MD’s. I was so intrigued by their wealth of knowledge! I’m a certified nutrition consultant trained to examine patients diets, take medical histories, listen to & observe symptoms to make recommendations regarding diet and supplements. While completing my clinicals, I would Skype to review my findings with my professor who was in Germany!
In the US there are many restrictions on how you can use an education like this. It depends on which state you live in. I moved from Florida back to Maryland which isn’t quite as friendly to this health field. The restrictions on what I could do didn’t interest me. Make no mistake-it’s still a passion of mine and something I use to keep myself and my family healthy. If my kids start to sniffle, I begin mixing up concoctions of #herbs and rubbing them down with #essentialoils!
I am very much an even mix of a left & right brain thinker. You can often find me reading medical journals in the morning and styling “bad ass bookshelves” in the afternoon.
I almost forgot-there was a short 9 months somewhere in here, where I also became a licensed cosmetologist.
So where does interior design fit into this? I’m getting there... stay tuned!

I’m calling the next few posts “get to know your designer.” If you don’t know me that well-I hate the spotlight & this is quite a bit out of my comfort zone but here goes.
I grew up on the east end of Long Island New York surrounded by the Long Island Sound, the Atlantic Ocean and tons of farmland. I do not qualify as a city girl, but make no mistake I am still a New Yorker! My hometown was so small it only had one traffic light! I am the youngest of 4 & the only girl.
Summer weekends often involved excursions on my parents boat. My dad would find a beach we could have to ourselves. He would carry me from the boat to the beach over his head so my feet didn’t touch the water. I hated when my feet got wet and sand stuck to them. I was a bit of a princess! Is anyone surprised?
Many of my childhood memories involve the sound of crashing waves, the smell of salty air & the feeling of sand between my toes.
My hometown was not a vacation destination. You won’t find blinking lights, ferris wheels or boardwalk fries. Beautiful wineries, farm-stands full of fresh local produce and the occasional celebrity heading out to the Hamptons was the norm. To this day, there is no place on earth that I feel more at peace than on a beach-a quiet one! It truly is my happy place. A place where the rest of the world seems to disappear and I’m 6 years old again.
Growing up in this tiny town, I couldn’t wait to leave it and explore the world. That’s exactly what I did at 18 years old. Since then I’ve learned that, home....is the place that helped shape and mold me into the adult I’ve become. Maybe it’s because I learned so many life lessons there. Maybe it’s because it’s a piece of my history. Maybe it’s because a part of my heart will always live there.
I look back now & long for the days when my life resembled living in an episode of the TV show Cheers-minus the bar! “Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name.”
There’s comfort in belonging and knowing that, “They’re always glad you came.” That’s home to me. Maybe that’s why I love creating a home for my clients. I never underestimate the importance & the comfort of “home.”
