I am a professional interior designer with over forty years of experience, specializing in helping students master **floor plan development and spatial design**. My journey began in 1975 at Stephens College in Columbia, Missouri, when design coursework was entirely hand-drafted. This rigorous background helped me build a powerful "hand-to-mind" connection—learning how to manipulate a 2D layout to create impactful, structurally sound 3D spaces.
While the industry now relies heavily on digital programs, the foundational principles of spatial logic, structural flow, and precise layout planning remain exactly the same. My primary goal as a tutor is to help you bridge the gap between a blank digital canvas and a beautifully resolved floor plan. I use proven, time-tested mentoring methods to help you master spatial relationships and architectural drafting conventions. Please note that **students must already be comfortable with their chosen software; my focus is strictly on layout strategy, and I do not tutor CAD software mechanics.**
Once your floor plan is locked in, I can secondarily assist you with interior finish selections, style compilation, material application methods, scheduling, and building specification books. I bring an additional four years of classroom art teaching experience across K-12, giving me a deep understanding of different learning styles. Please note our booking policy: **there is a minimum one-hour charge regardless of session length.** Feel free to send me a message—let's get to work!
