My career started off in interior architecture and design. I have designed retail stores, hotels, offices, showrooms, marketing centers and private suites at sports stadiums. My interest in design is wholisitic – i come from a creative background, my mother is a textile designer and my father an engineer. I started my own firm a few years out of school. We evolved to become a multi-disciplinary design practice offering graphic design, interior and product design services.
Over the years I have had my own business, went back to school for my masters degree, worked in brand marketing design for a major footwear company, was creative director and new business developer for a contract textile company. And now I am back doing running my own business again.
Art of Navigation was started in 2004 and our team designs product for and markets two brands Imageglow® Candles and Modern Materials.
Imageglow® candles use a patented process to embed patterns and images in the wax wall of candles. The flame backlights the pattern and GLOWS when illuminated.

We create private label patterns for Sanrio | Hello Kitty, Hallmark and other corporations and sell to major retailers such as Urban Oufitters, Coldwater Creek and boutique retailers around the country.
