Cynthia began practicing interior design at the young age of ten, when she'd spend hours sketching floor plans and furniture arrangements for a vast array of very important, very imaginary clients. Many years later, Cynthia launched her interior design career in New York at the high-end residential design firm, MAC II, where she honed her vision for mixing antiques with clean lined, modern pieces. She then moved to Rockwell Group, an award winning commercial design firm renowned for designing theatrical restaurants and hotels around the globe. While at Rockwell, Cynthia helped design everything from Manhattan hotspots like The W Hotel in Union Square and Todd English's restaurant, Olives, to David Rockwell's baby nursery in his New York apartment.
