People like to tease me about this!
Your work history: I most recently worked part-time
at Niche Home Furnishings and Design and was design assistant to Pamela
Calvert. Niche closed in April and I wanted to move from part-time to
full-time so I sought out other opportunities and found myself here!
Why did you go into design?: I have loved design since I was
a little girl- I probably rearranged my bedroom every month and I constantly
was thinking of new ways to style my room. I love being creative and I love
that good design can change the way people live and the way they feel in
their space. It took me awhile to pursue my dream, but I graduated with my
Associates in Interior Design at St. Louis Community College at Meramec in December 2014.
What you do for company on a typical day?: I work in Chief Architect to create floor plans,
elevations, and perspectives for our jobs, I put together job books for each
project, I am in charge of getting bids, placing orders and tracking those
orders, I review and approve payables and invoice our clients when payments
are due, I am Dana’s “design assistant”- I do whatever she needs me to do!
What are your pet peeves?: Lack of ownership/personal responsibility. We all make mistakes!
