What Prompted You To Become An Interior Designer? As a child, my instinctive response to naturally found materials were to build fairy houses for the little folk in the woods. I often invented new designs suitable for their enchanted lives; all my houses were much loved by their occupants. I was delighted and joyful to have provided for them, and my career choice was a matter of holding on to this happiness. What Do You Consider Your Greatest Professional Achievement? As an adult I continue to create nurturing and functional places for people’s use. My instinctive drive has not faded: I still derive much satisfaction from designing truly client-oriented environments. What Changes Have You Seen in the Industry, and How Have You Contributed to these Changes? The new millennium explosion of technology has provided designers with the capability of designing state-of-the-art offices, as well as with the resources and materials to implement these designs. I have responded by listening intensely to understand what each client desires and will use current technology to create that environment for each client.
