I have the gift of visualizing the final product and knowing how we’ll accomplish it, and from my first design on, I’ve been in love with creating gorgeous spaces.”

Mary Steer also has valuable experience designing custom furniture and accessories. She’s designed and painted custom screens for a local restaurant to create a private dining space.
