Because I have ‘written’ several Next Chapters in my life, I am able to guide you towards growth in all kinds of ways, from re-inventing yourself, or creating a home that is a visual story of your life, to figuring out how to getting unstuck and return to what really matter in your life. I have lived this path and come from a place of practical, real life experience - and get people BIG results.

My Journey ....

The Software Development Years.

I was shy starting out in the Corporate World but quickly learned to be more assertive and outgoing after realizing that I had a lot to contribute to my team's success. Flowcharts and process maps was and still is extremly exciting to me. I was soon leading multi-million dollar software development projects and enjoyed every single minute of designing the vision to implementation solution. Working for companies such as Baxter, Florida Hospital and CSX Transportation was very rewarding and yes the buzz phrase of "re-engineering the process" is nothing new in the world of software development. PS: Love Love Love puzzles .........

The Interior Design Years.

After years working in software development and constantly becoming obsolete each 'month' (today it feels like every minute), the long hour of studying to keep up with technology and grueling hours of development and deadlines - it was time for something new.

That is when I discovered Interior Design. I re-trained in this field while my kids were still in primary school and started Elegant Interiors so that I can work around their schedule. A few hours turned into many hours - for me this was just like software development, but instead of using code I was using fabrics, wood, windows etc. It was still a vision to implementation process and I was excited I could still use my flowcharts for defining the step by step process!

Today Elegant Interiors specializes in crafting visual stories that are guided by our clients’ aspirations and diverse experiences. This allows our clients to fully express who they are and what is special to them. Elegant Interiors is an award-winning interior design firm has served hundreds of clients by bringing their vision to life. Sabrina believes that our environment is what supports our sub-conscious, our happiness and fuels our creativity. Your home should be a reflection of your own individual and unique style. It is a place where you and your family build special cherished traditions year after year.

Researchers have discovered a variety of ways that the buildings we live, work, and play in drive our behavior and our actions. The way we react and respond is often tied to the environment that we find ourselves in. Home is where your story begins and ends - what does your home say about your story?

I am Life Long Learner

After several years of building Elegant Interiors I had hit a ceiling and realized I needed to learn marketing.
