Clients think I'm a genius when it comes to color.

Because I can see and project color more deeply than most people. 

When I was running a design center in a Benjamin Moore paint store, a man came in to choose a color for a main area in his home. 

He had just painted his kitchen and wanted a color to compliment it.  

He pulled a chip off the display he said was similar. 

It was a bright apple, almost neon, green.

After suggesting several colors he didn’t like, I recommended a home consultation.

Days later, I walked into his home, sunglasses still on, expecting to be assaulted by color.

Instead, his kitchen walls were a soothing, sage green.

Nothing like what he had shown me.

I had remembered the number of the color he had thought his kitchen had been painted and showed him the comparison.  He understood why I was baffled.

We found a beautiful color for the adjoining spaces.

Experiences like this have taught me I see and process colors differently.

My process for creating internal color landscapes is unique.

I was surprised to learn that most people don’t have color memory and often can’t discern the elements that make up a color. 

Colors "speak" to me, energetically. Over the years I have helped clients choose wall color, furniture, and accessories that took their spaces to places they could not have imagined possible.

I remember colors like some people remember movie quotes, world history facts, or baseball stats.  

My brain processes information visually.  I think in color.
