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 were transferred to Paris, France. It was there I took the opportunity to study interior design and where I truly found my creative passion for interior design.
After moving back to Houston I started my own interior design business and my family too, dreaming of white sofas made of velvet and silk drapery hanging on the wall in our new home. But one day 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 on the furniture!
My daughter’s marker “art” was a defining moment. It was then, I reinvented my business to reflect a Marker Girl way of living. It birthed a passion for sourcing family-friendly furnishings that stands up to real-life living. For 16 years I’ve helped families just like yours design a cohesive, durable home their whole family loves to live in.
