As life seems to become more and more unfamiliar a ray of hope and compassion still seems to shine brightly. I will always try to be part of that little ray of light and offer any kind of support or help I can.
I recently launched a project called Designing with Heart, where a recipient is chosen who is facing a life struggle. Jacquard Decor and Design is a full-service Interior Design Firm, opening in September of 2023. I have since had the pleasure of meeting so many kind and compassionate talented people, who along with me want to help be a part of a solution.

Her family says she is a sweet and loving girl who loves rainbows and color. her family wanted to provide her with a space where she could play and rest, so they chose her bedroom for the Designing with Heart from Jacquard.
I am honored and proud to have worked with the following people: Jacquard Decor and Design Team Office Manager Kenia Tuberico and Senior Designer Dawn Alpern, Michael Roppo and Nick Roppo from Central Tile and Remodel, Tyler Libersher from TL painting, Shazia Gill of Momal Drapery and Mike and Bridget Molinaro, along with Daniel and Adalberto from M&B Delivery to help in donating a bedroom for Sophia Ramirez, our first recipient of Designing with Heart from Jacquard project.
