My entire career has been as a designer, forming my own firm in 1977 after gaining experience at larger firms. Design is my life-long art and profession! My philosophy has always been to inspire clients and then collaborate with them to devise solutions which match their personalities and needs using a passionate, functional and aesthetic approach. This philosophy and approach, together with my project management skills and attention to detail, have consistently earned me satisfied clients. My fine arts background from the Philadelphia College of Art, along with technical skills I developed at Drexel University, have given me the ability to work in both commercial and residential design fields. Whether designing a city apartment, a suburban residence, a beach home, doctor’s office or a restaurant, it's always function first, yet with a comfort level to make my clients or their customers feel "at home.” My versatility has enabled me to complete projects in Philadelphia and its suburbs, as well as in New York City, Boca Raton, California, the Hamptons and at the Jersey Shore.
