Here is my story….

​

How I started my journey into the design business is not an unusual one. When my husband and I got our first house I was on leave for surgery. As I sat on the floor, I looked at my kitchen and felt it didn’t suit my personality. So he put me in charge of decorating. So, planned and I redid it. I felt my 20 years in the floral industry helped me prepare for color coordination. So, I turned my former country kitchen into a colorful Tuscan entertaining space. I invited neighbors and family to the housewarming. Then the flood gates opened for me and suddenly everyone wanted my services.

​

So, I took the time and studied while I worked full time. I got my Residential Planning diploma from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh. Then I received my Associate in Arts and Sciences (interior design) from El Centro College. I honed my skills at Servant Remodeling and by working in various interior design stores and showrooms to gain the knowledge and

confidence to go out on my own.

​

The first iteration of my design company came with Traditional Edge Designs, which has morphed into Matthews Copeland Interiors. I wanted to honor my mother and father (passed on) and my new family. What are my goals? What is my mantra? Design is for everyone.

Everyone deserves a well-designed home no matter how much you make. If you need a color change, if you need space planning for better functionality, I can help. If you have your first apartment and you are on a budget, I can help. If you have a new or existing home, I can enhance it.

​

I have been in the design business since 2007 and on my own in 2015. My goal is to give you a home that is functional as well as beautiful; not an overpriced showroom where you are scared to sit. It's meant to be a place to gather and feel loved,
