I am honored that my clients have allowed me to come into their homes and share not only their personal space but personal stories as well. It is imperative to understand and see how someone is living and what really matters to that person. We all tend to surround ourselves with memories from our life – it’s what sets us apart from everyone else.

We all go through many changes and metamorphoses in our lives, yet we hold on to the things that are most precious to us as we make this journey. I have had to redesign my own life many times, and have learned to keep with me the things that are most precious. Redesign is recreating and reinventing, and most of us have had to do that at some point in our lives. Redesigning a space is like breathing new life into a room and giving us, in the process, a new beginning.
My thanks to Michelle Shapiro and Wil Thomas of Ipso Facto Creative Group for their talents, patience and beautifully collaborative work on this wonderful website.
My deep appreciation to my husband, Tom, for his unconditional support in The Redesign Project and life in general. To my son, Adam, for being the brightest star in my universe, I give thanks for the inspiration he brings me every day of my life with his inquisitiveness, kindness and unstoppable sense of humor. And last, to our little Remmy, the sweetest spirit I could ever imagine.
I dedicate this website and The Redesign Project to my beautiful mother, Eunice Brooks, who always encouraged me to find the passion in my life and live it with grace, dignity and courage.
