My staging journey began in 2008 when I was one of many homeowners across the country trying to sell real estate during the housing market crash. I had staged my condo and successfully sold it with minimal loss during a time when condos weren't selling at all.  I experienced firsthand the power and hope that home staging can provide and I really knew I was on to something!

Over the years, my career has led me into various roles in marketing and the interior design industry which well prepared me for entrepreneurship and a career as a professional stager and renovation design specialist.
