About Arlene
I was raised by an artist who instilled in me an understanding of color, composition, and a love of art in every form. As a child, my mother brought me to art museums and exhibits in Philadelphia and New York to admire artists of every generation and genre.
Although I’ve always loved home renovation, a career in interior design came to fruition after a move from the West Coast led to early retirement from the airline industry. I was motivated by my love of art and design and passion for transforming “diamond in the rough” homes to complete a degree in Interior Design, specializing in Kitchen & Bath Design, Space Planning, and Construction Management.
While in design school, I spent time as an intern for a major fabric store, fabric being another passion of mine, helping clients with upholstery projects, window treatments, and fabric selection. An extensive tile boot camp came next while working at a local tile shop. The training and knowledge I gained there were immeasurable.
After completing my degree, I worked for a Kitchen & Bath Design/Build firm where I honed my computer software skills, design knowledge, and expertise in the project management process. That led me to open my own business where I have set the bar high to meet my standards of excellence in workmanship and customer service.
As a young adult, I traveled extensively through Europe, Latin America, Asia, the Middle East, and the US which nurtured in me an appreciation for the design, architecture, and cultures of countries around the world. I bring these influences into every project and weave them into the fabric of my designs.
