Nancy
Operations Manager and Interior Design Project Coordinator
After growing up in Bethlehem, PA, Nancy graduated from Jefferson University (previously known as Philadelphia College of Textiles & Sciences) with a degree in Fashion Design & Merchandising.

“I enjoy having the opportunity to be part of a team with a tremendous amount of potential for continued growth and success,” says Nancy.
