Born & raised in Harlingen, Texas; I adventured to Lubbock where I earned a bachlor's degree in Landscape Architecture. After five years of honing my craft in landscape archecture at a Texas-based company, TBG Partners, I was drawn to New York City. In my quest to blur the lines between interiors and landscape, I successfully conpleted Prat Institute's challenging, top-rated master's program in Interior Design in Brooklyn, New York.
Before creating Yates Desygn with my husband, Mike, I worked under the tutelage of internationally acclaimed interior designers Yabu Pushelberg in Manhattan designing five-star hospitality/ residential developments around the world. I carry the experience forward to Yates Desygn were I continue to blend high-end design with functional and comfortable spces.
