I love walking in Beverly Hills. It seems no matter where you are, there is something to interest the aesthetically driven. Award winning man made design is everywhere, and our parks and public spaces contain so many beautiful plants and flowers that a short respite in any one of these spaces could refresh and inspire.

I honestly think that this time of year is busier than any. We have LOTS of birthday parties to attend, since the Critter’s buddies were all born around the same time, and the weather is so nice I start to think about the summer wardrobes for our family. I’ve also been working on a [...]

The first day I worked at the glamorous Wilson and Associates office in Beverly Hills, I was asked to copy an entire specification book for a High Roller Suite of the MGM Mansions. It took all day and I was bored stiff. I was a good little copier, though, and I learned an awful [...]

Easter 2009, I meant to say…
It really IS coming along nicely, but just like any design project, it has to be researched for content, feasibility, style – fact and fiction have to do their part and get together before I’m able to do the fun part, which is – doing the [...]
