My journey of Interior Design started back in 2002 in my grandmother’s garage. That is where Interior Design found me. What I saw in my grandmother’s garage intrigued me so hard that I took a visit to the campus of IADT and next thing I knew I was graduating in 2005 with a Bachelor of Interior Design. I have a twin. She and I have always been artistic and going to IADT is where I found my passion and my tribe! That is where my journey began. I honestly didn’t know what I was getting into, but once I got there, it was set in stone… I WAS GOING TO BE A DESIGN STAR! I watched HGTV twenty-four seven. My favorite designer was Candice Olson. I didn’t know Black Interior Designers even existed back then. Design school wasn’t easy. In fact, it took me 7 years after graduating high school to graduate from college because I had kids so young. They were and are my drive for everything I have accomplished thus far in my life. Rejuvenation Home Studio was born in the back half of 2017. I needed a place to feed my soul and put everything I learned back into. I chose the company name because of the meaning behind the definition of “rejuvenation.” I use this in my everyday practice, which is to give new energy or life to something. My motto is take care of your space so your space can take care of you. Interior Design is self-care! RHS officially launched in October of 2018.
