This past season I was a part of the interior design and installation for the decor of the Santa Experience at Victoria Gardens in Rancho Cucamonga, CA. Santa Houses have come along way from the days of a simple mall set up. This three-room structure with air-conditioning, custom ceiling detail, crown molding, built in wood shelving, designer fabrics, and state of the art technology is by far the largest Santa house I have yet to partake in.
Having a ball today as I complete this custom 4′ illuminated wreath. This design was for the ride sharing company Lyft that had requested a statement piece in pink and silver for passengers to post their Holiday selfies. I decorated this one by sitting in the middle where I was able to easily see and access each area. Doing pieces like this that are different and unique always gets my creativity going and inspires me to think outside the box. Classy as always!
I had the opportunity to create the décor for 6 different sets that gave an overall Christmas look to 6 different themes ranging from Grandma’s house to settings portraying equality in this era of non-traditional families. This project demonstrated how quickly and effectively I could work under pressure and strict timelines. This project was completed in less then 10 days.

An easy way to create a festive look for any area big or small. Centerpieces are an affordable, fun way to create a holiday accent and bring cheer to your home, workplace, or special event any time of year.
A Peek Behind the Scenes!
This is me at one of the shows getting a look at all of the latest hottest newest fashionable ornaments at the Atlanta and Dallas marts.
These customized reindeer went into an area in Pasadena. Each of the neckpieces was handmade and hand lit to illustrate the client’s needs.
This is the another treatment of reindeer on a much larger scale.
