Ongoing Education

I believe that one's education does not end as soon as they receive their degree or diploma.  In order to stay competitive in today's environment, we must be constantly striving to learn new things, especially in the constantly changing world of design.  By regularly attending seminars and workshops, I am able to stay current within my industry and I am able to pass this knowledge on to my clients as I design their spaces.
