Throughout life we experience many transitions. These transitions include buying a new home, selling, organizing, and/or redesigning your existing home. I started Elegant Transitions to help homeowners through many of life's transitions as it relates to their homes.

I am the President of Elegant Transitions, a full-service home staging and interior design firm located in Harleysville, Pennsylvania, serving Harleysville, Souderton, Telford, Skippack, Lansdale, Hatfield, Towamencin, North Wales, Montgomeryville, Horsham, Chalfont, Doylestown and surrounding areas. 

I developed a passion for home staging and interior design from a young age. In my adult years I toured countless model homes as a hobby and enjoy watching home remodeling shows on HGTV for inspiration. After a 25-year corporate career, I decided to put my passion into action by helping home sellers achieve the maximum return on their investment while helping to market their home and get top dollar and helping homeowners turn their homes into dream homes.

As a graduate certified in-home staging, interior design and e-Design, I have completed the most comprehensive and intensive home staging and redesign certification courses in North America provided by the Home Staging Resource. I later went on to receive my Interior Design certificate through New York Institute of Art and Design and Residential Interior Design certification.

I would love the opportunity to help you as you go through the many transitions homeowners experience.
