What inspired you to choose you career?
When I was 14 yrs old, I insisted that my parents re design the entire house.  It was my Mother’s ancestral home, filled with columns & antiques.  Everything, gone!  My Mother has always truly been an inspiration to me.  She has a great sense of style.  She and her sister owned a dress boutique in the 40’s which was THE place to buy the latest in fashion.
