About Our Founder
Creative Interior Design elevates culture, life, and business. Branded design tells the story and sells. Our clients routinely land in INC Magazine and Fortune Magazine as the best place to work.
I am the founder of Metropolitan Studio® and co-founder of Sutton & Co. Both companies are catalysts for creating one-of-a-kind spaces for residential living, senior living communities, multi-family, higher ed, corporate, resorts, hospitality, along with cool projects that spark our interest.
We started our journey in 1997 after working in an architecture firm and learning the trade. I was a leading member at Erickson Living Development Group during the early start-up years. I also had a start-up, Sportzwave, which we sold in 2010. A background in business, interior design / interior architecture, and illustration lets us see things that others do not.
We create dream spaces that inspire creativity, innovation, imagination, and profitability. I aim to provide an atmosphere that reflects the company’s culture, inspires the employees and clients, and spurs further innovation.
I am an avid golfer and intermediate skier. I enjoy traveling the United States and Internationally.
