Teresa later worked for a local telecommunications company, leading the finance department. As her family grew, Teresa decided to spend more time at home with her daughters.

She has over 20 years of experience in design, both interior and exterior, color consulting and project management. She knew from the 7th grade, after a career day visit, that she wanted to be a designer and help people create beautiful, comfortable spaces in which they could live, work, and play. She studied interior design at Western Michigan University and Kendall College of Art and Design and along the way earned her certification with Benjamin Moore as a Certified Color Expert. She spent many years in the architectural coatings industry assisting with color schemes, design, and space planning for many companies, restaurants, and religious institutions in the West Michigan area. Alissa loves to work with clients getting to know them and tailoring designs to meet their needs. When not designing spaces, she loves to spend time in the kitchen baking and cooking for her friends and family.
