I began my adventures with beauty and design with Color Me Green, an interior plant scaping business I started in Boulder, Colorado in the 1980’s.

I started professional color consulting in 1999, studying in Hawaii with a wholistic training program called Illuminating Your Essence.

I learned how to relate personalities and physical features to nature and her seasons.

But my interest in beauty and art began long before that. From childhood, I’ve been fascinated with “appearances” so this was a natural career for me.

In 2002, I added to my skills by studying in the Aveda Institute in BC, Canada and becoming licensed as an aesthetician, then working in a high end spa providing skin care and make up.

In 2012, I was certified from the Appearance Design Institute, accredited to offer certification, technical training, color palette creation and style.

The Appearance Design Institute was founded by master color designer Sharon Chrisman, C.D.I., A.I.C.I., C.I.P. Her program is still respected as one of the most in-depth, color analysis systems available.

2012 was also the year I founded Color Harmonics.

I’ve worked as a professional color consultant in Oregon and Maui since then, doing personal client consulting, hosting women’s groups and color education parties, teaching about color, texture, design, and style, shopping, wardrobe creations, organizing closets, make up colors, and how to accessorize.

During that time I also worked at a clothing store in Ashland, Oregon, The Outback, Temple of Venus, as a color consultant, fashion and wardrobe guide, and window display creator.
