I guess you could say I was one of the lucky kids that always knew what I wanted to do when I grew up. I lived in a small town and my mother would often send me to the local furniture store to buy polish. By the third grade I was a regular customer and the owner would give me all the discontinued fabric samples. To this day, anyone who knows me would tell you I never get tired of looking at fabrics and I have found my passion. After receiving an Interior Design degree from Western Michigan University, I realized I wanted to stay in the Kalamazoo area.
