DESIGN HOUSE: This house that I live and work in has been part of me since I was born. It was my grandmothers house. My grandfather built it when my Mom was a little girl. Built in the 1950's it has the expected blue tile bathrooms and low 8 foot ceilings, but there is a spirit here that I have always recognized. It feels sacred and serene—it feels like home.

DESIGN HOUSE resonates with me as a studio title—synchronizing simply, graphically my life and work that it seems (at least for the moment) are linked into one fantastically crazy existence.
