My Marker Girl Story

Growing up in New Orleans, I developed my passion for creativity and interior design. More importantly, I discovered that a true feeling of “home” comes from the family that lives within it.

Shortly after marrying my husband, we transferred to Paris, France. There, I found my creative passion and took the opportunity to study interior design.

After moving back to Houston, I started my own interior design business along with my family. During this time, I wanted a magazine-worthy styled home. It was white upholstery and silk drapery in our new home.

It all changed when my daughter was a toddler. I had that “mommy feeling” that something was up because it was too quiet. I walked into my living room and found my daughter doing some decorating of her own – drawing with a black Sharpie on herself and the furniture!

My daughter’s marker “art” was a defining moment.

It was then I reinvented my designs to have the best family-friendly furnishings that stood up to real-life living while keeping the beautiful aesthetic my clients desired.

For 18 years, I’ve enjoyed designing many family homes, focusing on function and lifestyle but not sacrificing the beautiful elements my clients desire.
