Erin comes to us with a great deal of interior design experience. For six years Erin worked at Boston Interiors creating beautiful home designs for clients all over New England. She was well known for her exceptional skills working with color, pattern and texture to design beautiful spaces. During that time she was a top salesperson for the company as well as an assistant manager where she oversaw interior design efforts for clients. Previously, she built her skills with visual merchandising work at Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts and at Macy’s. In fact, her first job (while still in high school) was with Pier One Imports, so from a young age Erin has shown skill and interest in interior design!
In this position, Erin will be responsible for the planning, presentation, finish and furniture selection for our clients transforming their spaces into effective and outstanding design solutions.
Erin graduated from Keene State College with a BFA in Sculpture. During her time there she studied abroad in Australia for a semester, and upon graduation, worked at an auction house in Dublin, Ireland for almost a year.
