A typical day in my life includes…
waking up early with a good cup of coffee, drive my daughter to school, short drive to my dance class, quick shower, drive to the new showroom and have a large green juice while I work on some projects. I normally work at the showrooms or directly on projects with clients and sometimes onsite visits. Other days could include furniture set up or design consultation. The days go by super fast and by the time I have to take my daughter to her dance class I have to start thinking about dinner which is normally out at some of our favorite local restaurants or we order from home. After my daughter Mia goes to sleep I normally enjoy a glass of wine and relax while I check my last e-mails for the day and then it’s bedtime.
