Happy New Year


















As I embark on a new year, I can't help reflecting on the past one. I think about how much my family had to change and adjust to our new surroundings and how remarkably resilient we all are to new environments. In March we moved from one coast to another. With that came a culture change as well. Being native Los Angelenos, moving to a city with all the Southern "charms" took some time to adjust to. But really it was the simple things that changed the most for us.  My son got on the school bus for the first time. My daughter experienced her first rainbow. Brett and I sat and watched our first major electrical storm of our lives. I could go on and on.

I have to say, though, for me, one of the most exciting experiences was discovering all that the design industry in this city has to offer. I still have tons to learn, many more people to meet, and I hope in return, to share some ideas right here. Most of us each year make a list of resolutions we hope to accomplish....I usually don't get through half the year before I forget them all. I will say this...I'd like to try and blog more this year. I am working on a few ideas for the next few months.
