“I’m inspired by travel, architecture, dancing in my kitchen (while my wannabe-chef hubby cooks up a storm) and good old-fashioned fun!

 

My foray into design was two-fold. While I was working on an upstart stationery design company I was also building a house, where I hired an interior designer to help me. There I was designing paper and a home simultaneously, working with colors, patterns and textures and I found that it made me so happy.

 

I began helping friends style their rooms, which turned into space planning, buying trips, and more styling. After two years of having a friend nag me to go to design school, I relented… and the rest is history!

 

One of our kitchen designs has been featured in a national TV advert, which I’m very proud of. Additionally, I’ve helped develop gift products for the retail sector.”

 

Alongside achieving a B.A. at the University of Rhode Island, Darlene studied interior design with the internationally acclaimed Interior Design Institute.
