About Us...

Sharon Lake-Gargano has been practicing design for over twenty five  
years.  She began her career in the commercial field of design.  Her own
interior design practice became a dream realized in 1993, focusing on
residential design yet still maintaining a presence in the commercial market.  
Sharon is a professional member of the Designer Society of America (DSA)
and is certified by the Council for Qualification of Residential Interior
Designers (CQRID).  Sharon is a former President and board member for the
local chapter of IDS and is currently serving on the
local chapter board for
DSA. She was asked by the CEO of IDS National to jury the drafting portion
of CQRID exams for 2003.  

Michelle Huffman,  first joined the design team in December 2011.  She
graduated from the Interior Design program at Appalachian State University
in 1998 and is currently pursuing her Associates of Architectural Technology  
from Wake Technical Community College. Michelle's knowledge of
technological programs such as, Revit and AutoCAD, will add a new
dimension to our practice.
