Biography

I am the 11 year owner of One of a Kind Design, specializing in kitchens, entertainment areas, adaptable and sustainable design. I am also a Certified Kitchen Designer (CKD) through the National Kitchen and Bath Association. I enjoy practicing and teaching all areas of interior design. However, some of my favorite time has been spent over the past 2+years developing sustainability education programs for elementary and high schools.
