As a child, I was curious about how and why objects worked.  I
enjoyed taking things apart and putting them back together with
precision.  I learned carpentry from watching and working with my
father on various projects.  Everything I know about carpentry I
learned from him.  I also enjoyed decorating my room, often
to my mother's dismay.

While in college, I was frequently approached by friends seeking
decorating advice for their dorm rooms.  After
graduation, I started an arts and crafts business called
LaRue Designs, through which I sold custom gift baskets
and seasonal crafts.  This endeavor helped me earn extra
cash until I found a full-time job.

I started NLB Interiors, LLC in 2005 as a part-time business, and  
in 2007 I decided to pursue my passion for design full time.

I earned a Graduate Certificate in Business & Management from
The Johns Hopkins University, a Bachelor of Arts in Business
Management & Administration from Hood College, and studied
Interior Design at The Community College of Baltimore
County.  

I'm also an Accredited Staging Professional® (ASP®) and
a member of the International Association of Home Staging
Professionals (IAHSP®).  Having earned the only nationally
accredited designation for home stagers means that I abide
by a strict code of ethics, and continuously educate myself about
the industry.

I structured this business to appeal to a variety of clients by
offering an a-la-carte menu of services to meet the needs of all
budgets, design requirements, and do-it-yourself homeowners.    

In summary, I live by the words of a quote from the late author and
motivational speaker Leo Buscaglia, which says ”Your talent is
God’s gift to you.  What you do with it is your gift back to God.”  I
want my life to mean something.  I have a duty to share my talent
with the community and with the people whom I have the privilege
to meet during my lifetime.

NLB Interiors serves Prince George's County Maryland.
