{ABOUT TONI}

 

To my friends and design clients, I am better known as Toni--and my passion is historic preservation.  I love all types of architectural decoration:  interior, exterior, materials, ornament, and furnishings; and I'd be honored to help you with your old building or neighborhood.  

 

My love of design and architecture has taken me on a wonderful professional journey based on the appreciation of historic structures and community.  I started my career as an interior designer and then through the admiration of old buildings, found my way into historic preservation and heritage studies.

 

I believe every project has the potential to be wonderful, creative, and fun.  Afterall, they are all based on the input and needs, and in collaboration with the client.
