At a young age I knew I had an entrepreneurial spirit, so it was only natural for me to start Design Theory Company. My mother was always very crafty and creative, and it definitely rubbed off on me. She always had me doing little craft projects, sewing, and painting. As a child, I always wanted to rearrange my bedroom and the furniture throughout our home just to change the flow of the space. Design just seemed to be something within me, waiting to emerge as a career path. I graduated from URI with a BS degree in Fashion Merchandising and Design, later completing the Interior Design Program at RISD, furthering my education. I have always been in a visual role throughout my career coordinating color, texture, and product placement. Whether it was creating merchandising displays, sourcing materials for a jewelry manufacturer, or designing a client’s home. I like to solve problems, think outside the box, and be creative.
