Asked how she comes up with new concepts for designs, she answered. “Every piece of land is unique and so are we. It’s this uniqueness that gives each home I design it’s own individual character and style. I’m not a fan of copy cat or cookie cutter house plans. Even though I can be heavily influenced by the style my clients prefer, be it colonial, Victorian or Tudor, the custom home I design for them will stand apart from others of like styles. There’s no greater joy than sitting down at my table with a fresh roll of sketch paper, unless it’s pleasing my clients with what I’ve created, and this is my ultimate goal. I have to forget my own personal preferences when designing, and literally be one with those I’m designing for
