Prior to joining Slifer Designs in 2006, I worked as a designer in Southern California for a number of years. I graduated from the Design Institute of San Diego and spent two years as a kitchen and bath designer, followed by another two working at a residential firm focusing on fixed finishes and interior architecture. I'm proud to recently have received my NCIDQ certification.
As a Colorado native I'm happy to be back home. I've lived all over the United States, spent a year in Berlin, Germany and feel lucky to have had the opportunity to travel extensively and experience a wide range of cultures and communities. I'm always able to find inspiration from these experiences, which have helped define my aesthetic and design sensibility.
My approach to design is to think functionally and design timelessly. I love all aspects of design, but I enjoy most the projects in which I am involved from start to completion. I believe the most inspired and best executed projects are those in which the designer is able to be involved in the initial space planning and selection of the fixed finishes, as well as ultimately furnishing the space.
