Design has impacted my life in so many ways. It is has been peaceful place of focus and at times, has also been a seemingly insurmountable challenge. It has fostered opportunities that have shaped who I. The affection I have for design has been observed by my daughters and thus infiltrated heir lives and helped shape their interests. When daily responsibilities claim too much of my time, design beckons me back. I am so thankful for being afforded the opportunity to do something I love.
