About

I work on many levels of the Kitchen and Bath industry from design to installation, and from manufacture, to distributor, to sales. I've trained dealers, builders, designers and consumers on anything from microwave cooking, to adaptive home modification, to what's "the latest and greatest" with contagious enthusiasm. Presently consulting with Element 6 on refurbishing homes for resale and rental. In the design and consultation branch of my business I use my unique background to help my clients make inspired yet practical decisions within their budget and goals including aging in place, sustainable design and materials, or a DIY upgrade of their Kitchen or Bath. No project is the same. That's the fun of it! Specialties: Kitchen and Bath Design and consultation specializing in resale preparation, appliances, aging in place, adaptive design, product and design training, sutstainable design.
