International Design Sourcing

Having multi level relationships and connections in multiple foreign countries is a blessing and a curse. When there is a toxic jewelry recall from Wal Mart/Claires/and the Disney Store the phone does get a little busy. But the reality is that the everyday involvement with international sourcing is rewarding, challenging and life changing. My friends are all over the world. Their perspective is always different and enlightening. Their everyday challenges make me grateful for my little piece of heaven here in central Ohio.

I source many items for clients. From flooring, furniture, and artefacts, to printing, upholstery and custom cushions, pillows and other soft goods. I have designed lines of sinks, furniture, handicrafts, lighting, sculpture and outdoor freestanding buildings. I am currently involved in intellectual property work with logos from Universities, another great accomplishment of knowledge that enhances my life and my work.

I am thrilled to be connected to Asia and it's markets, it's industrious people and it's natural resources. The world keeps getting smaller for me, and my experience base just keeps growing in the international arena.
