Designer

I like to think of creative styling as an art form. It's a masterpiece, carefully crafted by your imagination and passion. You could say I fell into this career by accident. Having experienced being a struggling actor I was really in need of a side hustle. I was living in Seattle at the time, and recall asking a friend if she "knew of anyone who was hiring?". She kindly suggested I should "check out Eddie Bauer" and the rest is history.

I started out as a greeter and then moved to the home store as a sale associate. I noticed a young woman styling a table and I found myself drawn to what she was doing. Soon after our conversation, I asked Joyce if I could help her, and she kindly accepted the offer. Following her departure from the company, I asked if I could interview for the job, and I moved right on into the role without further ado. In the 3 years that followed, I worked my way up to designing floor plans for the corporate office and training new visual managers. My retail career, however, did not end there. I went on to work for Nordstrom, Anthropologie and Porch. The training, the people and the influences I've met through this journey have helped me become a better designer. Continued training has helped me in my new adventures in interior design.

I'm looking forward to the next chapter in this crazy world of styling and design.
