ABOUT THE OWNER

Hi! Thank you for visiting the site. A little background: I graduated from Bradley University in 2001 and began my career at Eastern Accents, a Chicago based textile manufacturer. While there, I managed the customs department, overseeing all non-catalog custom trade orders by communicating their specifications to production and then seeing the orders through to completion. This was the perfect learning experience and stepping stone for transitioning to Gary Lee Partners, where I worked as their Procurement Director from 2005 - 2009.
Working for Gary Lee Partners was an exceptional opportunity, allowing me to work around some of the most talented designers in Chicago while also overseeing procurement for some of the highest profile residences in Chicago. I will always treasure my time there not only for the experience gained, but for the lifelong relationships made. Those relationships allowed me to branch out on my own after having my first child in 2009. I have since been providing residential FFE Procurement solutions for a variety of architectural and interior design clients around the country.
I have the utmost respect and admiration for the job of a designer and consider it an honor to support them. While my career has led me to be used in an organizational capacity within the creative environment, I am also a visual artist and therefore have an understanding and appreciation for the creative process. I understand that each designer has their own process and requires their own unique support in seeing a project through. I also understand that your projects are your works of art and deserve to be handled with the utmost attention to detail. As much as I enjoy shifting gears by expressing my own creativity through painting, I have an undeniable calling to use my logistical side (and an undeniable love for spread sheets!). For this reason, I appreciate the opportunity to work behind the scenes for a designer, using my organizational skills to support them, all the while, truly getting excited to see their projects unfold and their visions come to life!
