Barbara is a lifelong resident of St. Paul and has always had a passion for historic preservation. Over the years she has been involved in community and neighborhood organizations as the old neighborhoods transitioned to new generations and uses. She is no stranger to renovations as she has done extensive restoration on several old homes of her own.

Past job experience has been primarily business related and it is this experience she draws on in her current position.  Utilizing her undergraduate degree in accounting and business and her MBA concentration in international business, Barbara provides administrative and accounting support to the studio and the Interior Design Department.
