Currently, January 2012, I am working on a single family residence in Chicago and enjoying the collaboration process with my client. In 2011, I consulted, facilitated and worked with my client on various design aspects on his Chicago penthouse condo. I completed a project in August 2008: a full bathroom remodel in the beautiful Pinnacle building in the Streeterville neighborhood of downtown Chicago just off of Michigan Avenue. It entailed full demolition and new construction including: espresso cabinet w/ granite countertop & double bowl vanity & mirror, white carrara stone mosaic floor tile in a basket weave pattern w/ a black granite mosaic tile border, large format 6"x12" white carrara stone wall tile, paint, new frame for glass shower enclosure, plumbing fixtures, hardware, shelves, wall sconces and a surface-mounted light fixture. The Client had great taste and style and it was a pleasure to work with her. In 2009, I did various design consultation work w/ home owners and also antique sales at Old Plank Antiques on Huron. What sets me apart is my expertise and experience, excellent customer service, my willingness to go that extra step, professionalism, follow through, attention to detail, responsiveness & the ability to communicate with everyone in order to complete a task, get the job done to the client's satisfaction. Moving forward, I plan to develop my company and establish myself with thrilled clients who are excited at the transformations of their living spaces.
