Marketing & Showroom Manager

Biography

As one of the owners of ABLAZE, which I co-own with my husband George and my brother David, design has always been part of my story. Growing up in the family business, I developed a deep appreciation for the craft, creativity, and relationships that fuel our work.

I earned my degree in Organizational Behavior from Northwestern University and spent several years in sales and retail management, where I honed my leadership skills and developed a passion for building strong, collaborative teams. After taking time away from the professional world to raise our two children, I returned to the family business in my current role as Marketing and Showroom Manager.

I’m passionate about creating meaningful connections—both within our team and in the local community—and I love seeing how great design can inspire and bring people together. For me, ABLAZE isn’t just about beautiful spaces; it’s about the people and stories behind them.
