Living in TechniColor Design is in my genes, literally. My mom is a Fashion and Interior Design Professor. I was the girl that grew up with the homemade everything! - pants, dresses, costumes, purses, etc. Weekends were spent antiquing and furniture shopping. In college I majored in Fashion and Interior Merchandising then moved outside D.C. to pursue a career in fashion. Since then so much has happened. I even visited Paris to saturate myself in the textile trade culture. My dream job led me to work at a design showroom for high end firms. But, If I was to be honest I found myself a little burned out with working behind the scenes and desired a more hands on approach with clients. After working in the design field I faced my greatest challenge; integrating my newly married husband's beloved and extremely red couch into something beautiful, well at least workable. Forged from the sparks of fire from this challenge - Motif Pillows began. Using every ounce of experience I could muster I designed, painted, antiqued, and thrift shopped our way into our first sheik apartment. Creating curtains, fashioning headboards, painting and sanding cabinets, and of course designing pillows.
