About Us
Who We Are!
Now that you have read through our "official" descriptions, allow me to introduce us on a personal level.
Joshua is a movie buff, Harry Potter fan and self-proclaimed nerd who loves fantasy and sci-fi His favorite holiday is Halloween, when he decorates his home to resemble the inside of a witch's kitchen or a psychic's den. And you should see his house at Christmas. He transforms it into a stunning winter wonderland of white and silver or a marvelous teal (his favorite color ) and silver Christmas display.
Though he is an introvert at heart, Joshua has an uncanny ability to instantly connect with people and make them feel at ease. He is funny, witty and can converse on a wide range of topics, so there is never any trouble carrying on a conversation with him.
Oh, and don't forget, he's a creative genius! His style is versatile and dynamic, yet also cohesive from one design to another. No matter what he does or how different it looks from his previous work, it is always easy to spot his unique influence in any design. And he loves to personalize his designs so that they truly reflect and belong to the client.
I am an outgoing and talkative extrovert and a nerd of a different type. I"m a student at heart, always looking to learn new things and find new ways to grow. I drive Joshua nuts sometimes with my questions....but how else do you learn, right? I'm family oriented (and Joshua is family to me), and I have two grown sons, an "adopted" son and two daughters, as well as a grandson and five "aodpted" grandchildren, whom I love dearly.
I am a music lover and avid concert goer, and I'm learning to play the piano, very slowly! That's my creative side, but I have an analytical side that loves economics, management and business strategy. I love to read, with historical fiction, true crime, self-improvement and business management/strategy books topping my list of favorite reading material.
Event planning is my favorite of the jobs I've held in my life. When we set up an event, I'm always responsible for the balloons, so I've always got my back to the room during the set up. My favorite part of this job is turning around when I finish with the balloons and everything is set up and seeing what Joshua has done with the room. He tops himself every time and I am always in awe of his talent and the beauty that he creates. It gives me goosebumps every time.
