My Story

In 2007, upon returning home from a two week business trip abroad and missing more of my son's sporting and school events, I realized that something had to change. Although I loved the thrill of my corporate career, my heart's desire had always been to be an interior designer creating beautiful living spaces.

 

So with a huge leap of faith, I quit my "day job", enrolled in design school and simultaneously created DM Design Solutions. That was over a decade ago and I've never looked back!

 

My business acumen, combined with my design expertise, sets me apart from other designers and enables me to deliver incredible results for my clients aesthetically and financially. I personally invest my heart and talent into each project - treating every home with the attention to detail I would my own. 

 

While it is important that every project reflects the unique personality of my clients, I do have one playful,  "signature design element" ... the use of some form of animal print (small or large) in every project.  (FYI: Animal print never goes out of style). Trust me, you'll like it!
