After receiving my Interior Design Degree at University of Wisconsin, Madison, I worked for a custom kitchen design firm for a short time before relocating to Portland, OR. In Portland I achieved a personal dream when I joined the team at ANN SACKS. I began working in the showroom assisting clients with their personal designs, and worked my way up to a marketing position at the corporate office that allowed me to work on product launches, tradeshow design and styling for photography.
