I have been in the business for 7 years. I have 2 amazing children whom I adore and spend so much time with. They are my world and everything that I do, I do it for them. I love being with people. I am active in my church and love being part of it and surrounded by incredible people who inspire me to be better.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1724444180006{padding-bottom: 10px !important;}&#8221;]I am very passionate about my profession. I love coming up with new designs and ideas. I have a natural talent and that is how I decided to get into the field.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>What first motivated you to go into the design industry?<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;20&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1724444207950{padding-bottom: 10px !important;}&#8221;]What motivated me was my children.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1724444675396{padding-bottom: 10px !important;}&#8221;]I just finished my thesis and had my thesis in education published. I was going to pursue my PhD but was encouraged to take something not so stressful. I have a love of learning and enjoy writing essays and being in school. However, instead of my PhD, I decided to take something more fun! I was drawn to home staging. I took the QC course and loved it! I finished it quickly and got started right away on consulting with home owners in terms of how they could sell their houses more efficiently with home staging.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Immediately after I was done, I took the interior design course as I felt that I could help home owners sell their house and then help them with their new house. I took 4 years off to raise my children and be with them. During my spare time, I worked on the courses and slowly grew what has become a successful home staging and interior decorating business, working on million dollar homes and for reputable builders.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>Absolute Simplicity offers staging and design solutions ranging from color consultation to personal home d\u00e9cor shopping.

However, every space was unique and differently even though I had red and white in it. I have broadened my horizons (haha) since then and have moved away from those colors! I am more playful and bold with the ways that I use color.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]I tend to follow the trends more in terms of accent colors. My last large project was all gold and black\u2014it was absolutely stunning. I approach different spaces by connecting with my clients and finding out what their needs are and really listen to what makes them happy. I always walk around the house and pick out one thing that stands out and that draws my inspiration for the design.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column 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_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;4149&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; animation=&#8221;None&#8221; img_link_large=&#8221;yes&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column 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_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;4150&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; animation=&#8221;None&#8221; img_link_large=&#8221;yes&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column 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_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>We see that you have worked alongside many high-profile design professionals.
