About the artist:

Many years ago my parents started me in the game of tennis; I truly love the game and it has given me so much. However, it was in 1999 when I enrolled in fashion school at 18 years old when I found my second passion; design.  I have a love for design and the arts. It’s in my blood. If I could I would practice them all, architecture, fine arts, industrial design, fashion design, dance, just to name a few. There just isn’t enough time in life to pursue everything that I love.

I chose Interior Design as a lifelong pursuit off of the court because it mirrors in spirit so closely the process that one would take to be successful in tennis. Like design, tennis is always moving and changing. Your opponent constantly changes, as well as the courts, conditions, and the tactics. The same can be said of design. Each client is different; each design solution is challenging and distinctive. I love this about design; variety is the spice of life!

The most awesome experience for me has been being given the gift of having a stellar team. No one person can do it alone. Having a truly talented team of designers that I believe in gives me the opportunity to learn, share and collaborate as well as continue to excel on the court and pursue my other love!

When I am not designing or playing tennis, which is almost never, I use my time to pursue other activities, such as modern dance and jazz, mixing music and taking care of an army of dogs. I am a junk food enthusiast. I check the candy jar everyday at the V Starr office for any chocolates or yummy treats. Fortunately or unfortunately it’s always empty, everyone at V Starr eats healthy and keeps me in line!
