I earned a B.A. with emphasis in Interior Design at San Diego State College. I was fortunate to study under 2 prominent local designers Ilsa and Lloyd Ruocco specializing in Interior Design and Architecture. My early experience at V.J. Lloyds Furniture Store opened many doors for establishing long term client relationships. For 12 years I and a partner ran a decorative painting business known at New Visions. We designed and painted unique finishes and murals for many hi-end residences and corporations. I then returned to my first love: interior design working at 2 different design firms. For the past 20 years I have operated my own design firm, Design Annemarie. My client base ranges from Los Angeles, Imperial Valley and San Diego County.
