"I help homeowners create exceptionally designed spaces that reflect their personalities and style."
Angela is best known for helping clients incorporate their personal style and treasures into their spaces. She provides full service design for busy homeowners including remodeling, redecorating, color consultations, and one day room makeovers.
This summer, Angela led the design of the “Luster of the Pearl” in the 2009 Street of Dreams, winning a People’s Choice Award for the best master suite. She has created award winning designs for homeowners including best interior design for Real People, Real Houses, and she was a Semi Finalist in two categories at the Society of Decorating Professionals’ National Conference in 2008. Angela's design work has been published in The Oregonian, The Lake Oswego Review, The Beaverton Valley Times, The West Linn Tidings and most recently Explore the Pearl magazine. She has also been featured on KPTV’s Better TV and Tualatin Valley CTV’s Outside the Box.
A transplant from the Midwest, Angela has enjoyed living in Oregon since 1996. She enjoys entertaining at her home, reading every design magazine imaginable, singing, and spending time in wine country and the Oregon coast. In the summer she spends as much time as possible on the water and going for long secluded hikes. Her pride and joy are her two beloved dogs, a Golden Retriever named Kashmir and a Sheltie named Sadie Sue.
Angela believes in community involvement and contributes to many charities including the Home Builder’s Foundation and the Children’s Cancer Association granting design makeovers to families and children in need. She teaches interior design classes through Portland Community College, and her own "Girls Night Out" events in Portland, Oregon. She is a board member of the Home Builders Association of Metropolitan Portland and an active member of the Professional Remodelers Organization where she serves on several committees. Angela is the co-founder and Vice President Elect of the Interior Design Society’s Portland chapter.
