I'm an independent, NKBA-certified kitchen and bath designer and freelance design journalist.  I've worked on small and large projects -- and enjoy both.  I also really enjoy sharing design ideas.  My specializations include kosher kitchens, open plan design and aging-in-place/universal design.  (I love helping seniors stay in their homes longer, safely, comfortably and productively and just earned my Certified Aging in Place Specialist designation from the National Association of Homebuilders.)  I'm 47, married to my best friend and a full-time stepmom in Tampa, Florida.
