About Dee
Dee has completed numerous training programs in
home decorating and silk floral design. She has also been an avid landscape
enthusiast/hobbyist for years and has "self taught" on the subject. In 2006,
she incorporated landscape services into the Finishing Touch
by Dee business.
Dee is a graduate of St Joseph's University in Philadelphia, gaining both BS
and MBA degrees.
Dee was with a major Aerospace
Company for 16+ years, where she started her career in Contracts, later
moving into other areas of the business.
In November 1996, Dee established
the Finishing Touch
by Dee
business as a part time effort, and went full
time in 2000.
Dee's initial concentration was silk
floral design.
Dee has sold floral products through retail stores including the Echelon Mall in Voorhees NJ, and Philadelphia area floral & craft shows such as The Willows
Mansion in Radnor, Pa, The Oakbourne Mansion in West Chester, Pa, and
Christmas House in Ridley Park, Pa. She also has participated in numerous
customer home based shows, as well as public shows in her own home.
Dee's business quickly expanded into
interior decorating and she has a real talent for blending & matching color
schemes, and changing the whole appearance of a room with "accessories" &
addition of appropriate "color".
Dee's customer's would often mention
wanting to do something with their yards, and of course being an avid
landscape hobbyist for years, Dee eventually started taking on landscape
jobs, and it has become a real love. One of Dee's neighbors swears that he
saw Dee landscaping her own front yard at 11:30 pm on a cold December night,
and in her pajama's! Probably true!
Customer's often complained of problems
with their computer when Dee visited, so of course she would volunteer to
"send Bob over" to help out. Hence that part of the business came into
being!
