Kitchen Design/Remodeling/Expert Profile

Expertise

I can answer specific design / layout questions regarding decorative ceramic tiles, encaustic tiles, hand-painted tiles, stone, glass, porcelains, mosaics, custom installations. Although I do know about installation techniques, I prefer to leave these questions for licenced contractors to answer. My forte is designing installations, i.e. Entire bathrooms, entry foyers, fireplaces, kitchen backslashes and fountains. Also patterned floors throughout the interior and exteriors of residential and some commercial projects.

Experience in the area

I have been in the tile and stone industry for 17 years working as a design and sales consultant in L.A.'s Design district in West Hollywood, CA. I have worked in all aspects of the industry from customer service representative, to showroom design/sales, to corporate product training specialist and national wholesale sales manager. I am currently back doing what I love to do and that is design/sales.

Education/Credentials

BA in Music Education from Azusa Pacific University. CTC credentials from the Ceramic Tile Institue of America.

Past/Present Clients

I've worked on may high- end projects for people all over the world including high profile clients and celebrities, I prefer not give names. Although I mostly work with architects and designers, I do enjoy working with the home owner directly.
