INTERIOR DESIGN CAMP NYC

      My very good friend and new (venture partner) Susan Morrow and I have just launched a new business. Interior Design Camp NYC, Inc.  Since we both have been inundated by young people around the country asking for advise on how to get into the Interior Design field, we have decided to run a camp for teenagers 15-18 years old. 


There will be two (one week) sessions starting in August 2012. 


Kids will come to NYC with a parent or guardian and stay with family, or in a nearby hotel. 


Our sessions will be Monday -Friday 10:00-4:00PM, with an end of the week competition, and celebration. 


The week will comprise of seminars by professionals in the field, visits to all the principal showrooms and leading design centers and a tour and seminar of the prominent New York School Of Interior Design. 


By the end of the week the campers will have a much greater understanding of this field after exploring the industry from the inside out....  Save the date...


We will start taking reservations December 1, 2011..

New York Design Center

As you may know, The New York Design Center, or more commonly referred to as “200 Lex” asked me to be a part of their new Access to Design service. 200 Lex, 16 floors of designer exclusive showrooms, is now being opened up to the public through the Access to Design program. This great new service gives anyone the ability to sign up online or simply walk right in off the street. Consumers are paired up with an interior designer to help them gain access to the buildings great resources, and to help them choose the best furniture, fabric and accessories for their home.

Access to Design also has a number of interesting partnerships. Specifically, it’s partnered with an AOL blog called Shelter Pop. When the New York Design Center called me and asked me to share a photo of my work, I jumped at the chance! I thought, “what a great opportunity!” The title of the blog was “Home Remedy: How to Stay Healthy” which instantly brought to mind the story of one of my recent clients. The kitchen I designed and installed changed her and her husband’s life for the better!

I HAVE ARRIVED!!

     Yesterday, when I came home from work I had a great surprise.


About a year ago, I  signed up to put my business profile on one of the number one online sites, elledecor.com. I sat down and read through my e-mails and found a letter from the editor. They had FEATURED my profile along with photos of my work the WHOLE day. It was featured on their site, plus Facebook, and Twitter... Wow, Elle Decor!!!
I really felt special... what a great day!
