Those who know me know that travel is my greatest joy and inspiration. I love experiencing new cultures and using the sights, sounds, smells, and people as insight directly into my designs. Idube Creative House is the peak of that enterprise. While on a safari in Africa, I was moved by the beauty of all the wild animals I saw. Specifically, I saw the zebra’s stripes as one of the most spectacular and extraordinary patterns in nature, inspiring me to name my new business Idube, after the Zulu word for Zebra.

From my earliest memories of having my name called over the speakers in every department store as I was “lost”, really, I was styling strangers from the age of 5 in their dressing rooms. This quickly transformed into moving things around in my aunts’ homes and then to friends’, there was always a love of aesthetics, color, spatial relation and design for both the body and the home. With 19 years of experience in the design industry, establishing a foundation in fashion handling everything from buying, merchandising, personal shopping, designing to accounting and managing a business made for a great foundation to make a move to fashions of the home. I have extensive knowledge of what works in the business, and I am excited to share that with you. Between curating lines and designing and selling custom furniture, I’ve learned a lot along the way that can help me build a solid foundation for your success. I am confident that I can find your strengths and weaknesses and help you put them together into a beautiful pattern of stripes, just like the IDUBE. One of the biggest inspirations I have drawn from my years of travel is that sustainability is key. We need to be able to work within our world and our environment, not work against it, to build a business that will last. I will help my clients nurture their independence, while also expanding their horizons to take on exciting new opportunities.
