About Us

Do you Dream of a Beautiful Kitchen or Bath?

Originally from Long Island, NY where I owned an Interior Design firm specializing in custom designed wallcoverings and fabrics, I moved to Charlotte County in 1981 and continued my interior design business for 15 years.

After working for a local cabinet firm, I decided to open my own consulting firm, Design Solutions!, to offer homeowners the choice of quality construction design, no matter what the size, cost or scope of their project. Over the years, I have won several national awards for interior design.

Design Solutions! services clients not only in Florida but also throughout the United States.

I am a Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist and have also earned a CGA designation (Certified Graduate Associate) from the National Association of Home Builders, successfully completing courses in business management, emerging technologies and market trends.

Along with work-related organization memberships and activities, I have served on the Board of Directors for the Arts & Humanities Council of Charlotte County, am a past president of the American Business Woman's Association, and have won many awards for community involvement.

I am currently on the Board of Directors for the Charlotte-DeSoto Building Industry Association, and am active in our local Remodelors Council and the National Association of Home Builders.

I look forward to helping you make your design dreams come true!
