Partner: Charles Moceri; Graphic Designer, Educator, Chef, Sicilian

Children: None, but we do have a cat, Zebediah

Education: University of Michigan, Master of Architecture, 1976

Bio: Other than six years in Ann Arbor, I’ve lived my entire life in Birmingham.
I’ve been self-employed since 1983, starting out doing commercial interior design and gradually adding some residential work. Ford, GM, Comerica, Manufacturers Bank, Herman Miller, Butzel Long, Miller Canfield, and McCann Erickson were among my larger clients. Outside of Michigan I’ve done work in Hartford, New York, Washington DC, Boca Raton, Naples, Vail, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.

I definitely have enjoyed my career, but actually, we enjoy giving parties more. Every year we throw parties for Epiphany, Fourth of July and Halloween. I found it difficult to resist posting photos of food and decorations, but I did.

My photos:
