My focus as a color consultant/designer is to bring an in-depth approach of supportive color design to all areas of my work. I enjoy working directly with a client, or collaborating with other design and construction professionals in a creative way that adds to the overall value of a project.

Specialized training in the field of applied color psychology and human response to color, through the International Association of Color Consultants/Designers (IACC), provides the breadth of vision in my work that will enhance a commercial, residential, institutional, or corporate environment. My thesis subject for IACC: The Importance of Color in an Elementary School.
