Born and raised in Utah, at the ripe age of 17, Gia moved to the far-away and wonderful land of L.A. to study at FIDM/Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising where she was proclaimed “Utah girl”. Upon graduating with a degree in interior design, she started her career in the event production industry focusing on corporate events. However, after several years, she made the switch to kitchen & bath design where she discovered a true passion and had the pleasure of designing high-end custom homes for former politicians, tech moguls, CEO’s, and TV personalities. Gia’s background working in different design fields, as well as with clients from around the world, has given her an appreciation for different cultures as well as conscientious design. Last, but definitely not least, Gia is passionate about educating consumers on hiring qualified and educated designers because designing encompasses much more than color and furniture selection. Building codes, human nature, ADA standards, and so much more should be considered in the process. Currently, Gia holds her NCIDQ, SCCID, and is a LEED Green Associate; she is also in the active process of obtaining her CKBD/Certified Kitchen & Bath Designer.
