My brain is always in overdrive thinking and learning about design, how I can constantly strive to think outside of the box for my clients while creating designs and concepts that are functional, yet stylish, for everyday families like my own.\n<h3>What pushed you to start your career as an interior decorator? What were you working on before you decided to make the switch?<\/h3>\nI held a very successful career managing events for almost 20 years from corporate events to galas and everything in between.\u00a0 I was at the peak of my career and wondered what was left.\u00a0 As hard as it was to leave the events industry, I took 6 months to contemplate what I was passionate about \u2013 what was it that kept me getting up every morning.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_content&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243;][vc_column enable_animation=&#8221;true&#8221; animation=&#8221;fade-in&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;10037&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_content&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243;][vc_column enable_animation=&#8221;true&#8221; animation=&#8221;fade-in&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][vc_column_text]Every time I asked myself what was it about events I enjoyed, I kept coming back to design.\u00a0 It was getting to understand my client\u2019s vision and partner that with their needs and wishes, then drawing up concepts, executing them and bringing them to fruition.\u00a0 I knew that I had no choice but to follow that passion.\n<h3>You\u2019re actually a Board Director for DDA (Decorators and Designers Association of Canada \u2013 formerly CDECA)! Can you tell us about your role and how it has help to shape your career path?<\/h3>\nI was so used to knowing the events industry that starting a new career, even though I was confident this was and is the right path, I felt a little intimidated.\u00a0 Joining DDA really was a game changer for my new career.\u00a0 It has connected me with like-minded professionals and suppliers.\u00a0 I\u2019m constantly learning through the CEU\u2019s that are offered and many of them are free.\u00a0 And then the opportunity came to join the Board of Directors which involved an application and a nomination process.\u00a0 I thought I was crazy for applying!\u00a0 But sometimes, you have to follow your gut.\n\nBeing elected to the Board and surrounded by its very talented members has been an incredible learning experience. I think being a Director of DDA and the Director of the Ambassador Program, shows your belief in the importance of belonging to an association, that you are committed to providing ethical business services and by doing so it helps instill confidence for your clients.\n<h3>What\u2019s next on the horizon for you in terms of your career goals and aspirations?<\/h3>\nI\u2019m always working on something.\u00a0 I will be back on TV and will continue to have speaking engagements.\u00a0 As for my business, well, that\u2019s a secret![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_content&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243;][vc_column enable_animation=&#8221;true&#8221; animation=&#8221;fade-in&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;10042&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_content&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243;][vc_column enable_animation=&#8221;true&#8221; animation=&#8221;fade-in&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>Will you share your top career highlights with us?<\/h3>\nI\u2019m excited to share &#8211; since graduating from QC Design School, I have had the opportunity to have my TV debut as a guest speaker on Daytime Durham where we chatted about the home\u2019s exterior and spring trends for the home.\n\nAnd I\u2019m thrilled to share, I\u2019ve been selected to speak at IIDEXCanada on November 29<sup>th<\/sup>.\u00a0 My presentation is called \u201cBeyond the Design\u201d, where I\u2019ll be speaking to Designers, Decorators, Architects, and Construction Trades about the ROI of the Customer Experience and how it\u2019s going to set businesses apart.\u00a0 I\u2019ve also been a key note speaker for Heart of Networking \u2013 a women\u2019s entrepreneurial networking group and have been the panel moderator for Getting Down to Authentic Business.\n\nFinally, most near and dear to my heart, I believe in giving back to the community in which I live, work and play.\u00a0 I am a repeat panel speaker for \u201cEmpower Our Girls\u201d where we help to encourage, motivate and inspire the future female leaders from the age of 10.\n<h3>You completed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/online-courses\/interior-decorating\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">QC\u2019s Interior Decorating course<\/a> in February of this year.
