She is most proud of the fact that her projects look as good twenty or thirty years later as they do on the day of installation. “Quality,” she insists, “does not have an expiration date.” By 1988, her growing reputation led her to open a New York office, expanding her reach and solidifying her place among the nation's top designers.
