- Joined LBA in 2004- B.S. in Interior Design from Georgia Southern University- Specializes in space planning, finish & furniture selections and design development for our commercial clients. Special interest in high-end residential interiors for our existing commercial clients."My love of design was instilled from a very young age. That is when I witnessed first-hand the sense of joy that can be achieved when you thoughtfully plan and execute improvements in your daily surroundings; improvements that heighten your creativity & focus, encourage collaboration, create order, and simplify your everyday routines. While interior design greatly focuses on the aesthetics and mood of an environment, a well thought-out design can achieve so much more."
