What I know without a shadow of a doubt…I love decorating, staging and helping others start a career.I have been an entrepreneur since 1982. My students are drawn to the fact I understands the challenges of being self-employed.  I approach the learning process with warmth, humor, and sensitivity. I am the host and creator of Nashville’s popular DIY seminars, “Addicted to Decorating.” I also created The DSA’s A.C.T.I.O.N. Scoring System used by hundreds of staging professionals across the country. I am a frequent industry speaker and the emcee for The Deco-Zone at Atlanta’s AmericasMart. As the owner of The Practical Decorator, I spend most of my energy teaching and training talented individuals in creating a business in the decorating industry. However, I still love the creative process and continues to accept clients.
