✨ I jumped on the ChatGPT caricature trend… and honestly, it’s a little wild how much it nailed. So if you’re new here — this is me in a nutshell:

I thrive in corporate project management, specializing in interior design, space planning, and creating functional workplaces where teams can truly perform. My background in hospitality, event planning, strategic development, marketing, and corporate branding all feeds into that work.

I’m passionate about my faith, my marriage, my family (biological & chosen), mentoring others to step fully into their potential — and being a proud Ouachita Baptist University alumn. 💛

Paul and I both are Ouachita graduates and from 3 generation Ouachita families. We were married in Dallas, have lived in Atlanta and Dallas and now we’re back in Arkansas. Many of my projects are in the DFW area, so I truly have the best of both worlds.

Together we own Red Door Gallery & Framing Studio, where we represent 35 original artists and specialize in custom framing — with an emphasis on conservation framing. Paul is the President & runs the operation, and I handle business development, event planning & marketing — aka a self-proclaimed “Chaos Coordinator.”

Life motto?
Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance.

Dog lover. Proud Auntie. Passionately loyal to my husband, family & friends. Unapologetic about my Faith! Big believer in community & networking.

That’s me. ✨
