The best advice I’ve received is: don’t follow the masses because sometimes the ‘m’ is silent. I strive to do things differently, not for the sake of being different, but to be innovative.
If I could master one skill, it would be flair bartending. Imagine me slinging mixed drinks like a female version of Tom Cruise in the 1988 movie Cocktail.
If I had a warning label, it would definitely say: Warning! Personality May Be Larger Than It Appears
If I had a superpower, it would be to give our staff the tricks, tools and knowledge to make them in to designer superheroes!
The best era for fashion is the 1940s and 1950s. I would love to see pillbox hats and tailored cape-suits come back in to fashion.
My favorite karaoke song is Livin’ La Vida Loca. It’s one of the best songs ever and it’s my go-to for karaoke nights.
My best costume ever was when I dressed as Pebbles from The Flintstones in college. I DIY’d the whole thing, including the bone that went in my hair.
If I could take only three items to a deserted island, I would take a tent, a fishing net and a volleyball.
If everything in my house had to be one color, I’d choose white. I love the idea of a neutral aesthetic with lots of different white tones and textures.
If I were reincarnated as a famous landmark, I’d be Walt Disney World. It’s the happiest place on earth!
My dream car is bright red Maserati Gran Turismo Convertible Sport with butterfly doors. I want to feel the wind in my hair while I’m driving such a chic car.
If I joined the circus, I would definitely be with the clowns. I love to make people laugh and I can paint my face really well!
If I could live in a movie, I’d choose The Great Gatsby – the 2013 version with Leonardo Dicaprio. I’d call people “Old Sport” and attend Jay Gatsby’s extravagant parties!
My favorite trip was my visit to Victoria Falls in Zambia. We went to Livingston Island where I sat in the Angel’s Pool overlooking the 355′-0“ waterfall drop to the bottom.
I once zip-lined in the Dry Forest in Costa Rica. I was scared to death until I realized that the only other way down was walking past a coral snake!
If I had an extra hour every day, I would nap. Sleeping is my favorite pastime.
If I could live anywhere in the world, I’d choose a little house along the river in Avignon in the South of France. I’d spend my days riding my bike and enjoying the scenery.
If I could bring any fictional character to life, it would be Dwight Schrute. He would be a constant source of entertainment, and I bet his beets are actually pretty good.
If I could eat only one meal for the rest of my life, it would be fried chicken tacos from Taqueria Del Sol. They’re delicious, local, contain the four food groups and I love any food that you can pair with a margarita!
Who would play you in a movie about your life? There’s already been a movie made about my life and it’s called Bridget Jones’s Diary. They got a few things wrong so the remake will be played by Kristen Wiig.
The three things I could never do without are chapstick, a calculator and Chick-fil-a!
Q: When are you the happiest?
Favorite cheese? My favorites are smoked gouda and white stilton cheese with cranberries. Both pair well with a bold cab and an outdoor fire!
If I could be an animal, I’d be a dog. They’re loyal, playful and man’s best friend.
If I could time travel, I’d go back to the 1960s and live the hippie life.
Favorite Design Tip? Chewing on a rug gives it a natural patina for no extra cost!
Full-service interior design and FF&E procurement in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
If I could have dinner with any one person, it would be RBG. I’ve always wanted her to be my mentor. She fights for the underserved and I am obsessed with her tenacity!
If I could breed any two animals together to create a new animal, I would choose a flamingo and an elephant. What could be cooler than a pink, feathered elephant?
Favorite odd food pairings? Fried chicken, waffles and a glass of champagne!
What am I most grateful for? Coffee. No, my family, of course. And coffee.
I’m happiest on a beach with my family. There’s nothing better than being completely present with my favorite people in the entire world!
Something you would never guess about me? I’ve been riding motorcycles my whole life.
If I could time travel, I would visit New York City in the 1940s! Fashion, hairstyles and dancing — need I say more?
What celebrity chef would I choose to make me dinner? Ina Garten. Bring on the butter!
My most unusual talent is unintentionally memorizing fabrics – whether it’s upholstery or drapery in our design library, or quilting-weight cottons in my home sewing studio.
If I had an extra hour every day, I would teleport to Glacier National Park to go hiking and see the beautiful bright blue water.
If I could have unlimited sushi or unlimited tacos for life, I would choose sushi! Yes, please! It’s healthy and it’s gluten free.
