Speaking to graduating students
Jenny Rebholz (since recently Schrank) and I love talking to, motivating and helping all higher education students. But naturally, we are most passionate about helping interior design graduates succeed in their professional careers. That’s why we make time to talk to last year design students about the importance of establishing their Personal Brand.
Speaking to students
Jenny Schrank and I are looking forward to speaking to interior design students at Waukesha County Technical College (WCTC) this week. Our message is simple. What makes you different and how you position yourself to get ahead. read more

Biz Book Club “reDesign, reCreate”
I started to read this late summer, put it aside for a few weeks, and came back to it on a long drive to Charleston, SC. Of course, I didn’t sit behind the wheel. My husband drove, and I swear, though the drive must have seemed long and uneventful to him, it went by like a breeze to me. This book sucks you in. read more
