It's a tad cliche, but it's true that I was the kid rearranging her room every few weeks and spending her babysitting money on houseplan books (well, that and Teen Beat magazine). 
As an adult, I took a lengthy detour through Marketing & Research, but my constant mental improvement of spaces had me weighing in on projects for my family of builders in Muskoka, Ontario and helping friends with their projects, just for kicks.   
​
Finally, in 2007, I heeded some repeated advice.   I 'hung a shingle' at the intersection of skill and passion -- and Impressions Home Design was born.  Here I am almost 20 years later with a long list of happy clients, most of whom are referrals from other happy clients or are previous clients who've invited me back for a second, third or sometimes even fourth project.  The problem-solving aspect of my job is highly fulfilling to me as a creative, but one of the greatest joys in this role is the "comealongsidey-ness" I get with my clients.   I just love providing function and easing their overwhelm, while adding value to their home.​​
