Hello! My name is Marlie Bilbruck-Boerger, designer and owner of An Interior Matter Interior Designs. I feel that interior design is like any other art form. It is used to paint a story of the home's occupants. It conveys a message of who lives there, what their passions are and what message they are sending. When a home is well designed the story is easy to read, but poor design can muddle the tale, just as poor writing can ruin a great narrative. I have worked in the interior design field for six years. I find that my ability to look at design from all angles and to think outside of the box gives me an edge in the industry. I studied at Bellevue College. I am always continuing my education by taking design related courses and workshops to keep up on trends, materials and techniques. I was born, raised and still reside in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. I currently live in quaint Lake Stevens, Washington (about 45 minutes north of Seattle) with my brilliant community service driven husband and two of my three equally intelligent and driven children, and a cat, who acts like she has no idea who we are or why we insist on invading her home daily. We have a third child (actually he is an adult now), our son, who is married and moved away.
