An interior decorator in Southern California, Cathy believes that good design “is how "you" want to live, artistically edited,” and says her style is “transitional… not too contemporary or too traditional.” Many of her clients like mixing their own personal styles with those found in popular home stores and catalogs. Her other interests include, personal fitness, gardening, church activities, and going to the beach (she enjoyed surfing as a teen.)
