I’m from Alma, a small South Georgia town. No one calls you by your name in Alma. They introduce you like this…..”you know who that is don’t you??…..(uncomfortable pause) ….. That’s Jay and Gail’s youngest daughter…..Abbi.”
My daddy owned grocery stores and my momma was a school teacher. I grew up with both sets of my grand parents also living in Alma. Trust me when I tell you looking back I knew how incredibly lucky I was.
Eventually I got my 4 year interior design degree from the University of Georgia.
Along the way I was on scholarship as a processor’s assistant in Italy and took classes abroad Even ended up publishing research in Germany. Falling completely in love with design along the way…. And the freedom it offered. Every job and every client was a fresh start. In 2006 I started my own interior design business…. I sketch all day to push the limits of every design and create truly one of a kind pieces for my clients. History and a healthy respect for the past always take a huge role in my overall design. A sense of history gives a home roots and reverence and instant heritage!!!
Currently I live in Atlanta Georgia, with my handsome husband Chris Hook and our little hound Bubba Dawg. Life is good ….trust me when I tell you I know how lucky I am!
