After over three decades in the interior design industry, I have decided to embark on a new journey of writing about design. My goal is to share insights into the design process, provide practical guides, offer valuable tips, ideas, and resources, and assist readers online with their design projects. Therefore, I’ve create “Your Design Guide” – especially catered to you.
Before we dive into projects and your projects, here are some fun facts about my background:
- I first decided I wanted to be “a interior disger” like my mom when I was in the 3rd grade.
- I’ve been drawing flooring plans since I was little and before that I created rooms out of play-doh.
- I attended both UCLA for Interior & Environmental Design and Otis for Design as part of my interior design education.
- I worked in both commercial & residential interior design, often freelancing for many high-end interior designers (celebrity clients) before embarking on my own in 2006.
- I’ve been in business for myself since 2006, mostly residential interior design projects but also some commercial design projects.
- Around 2007, I was invited to join the Material Girls Blog as the Los Angeles blogger. At that time, I had barely heard of blogs, but it sounded like a great idea!
- Blogging and social media grew and I feel grateful to have been a part of that community in the early days. I learned a lot, met a lot of great people, socialized with our local design community, and many opportunities came from it.
- In addition to full service design I offer, I have also long been doing online interior design, or some say “e-design” or “e-decorating. From these services, I now offer several flat rate online design services.
- In 2025, I published two ebooks.
BUT enough about me! Please tell me what you are looking to read or see or know about interior design. I would love to know more about what to share!
