TERRI
Terri found her way into the Interior Design business after an illustrious 3 decade career as a Hospitality Professional specializing in Food and Beverage. She is flexible, resourceful, organized, and highly personable with proven success at improving the client experience and working collaboratively. While having the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously, Terri works well under pressure.
​
Growing up in the hospitality business and traveling the world with her family, she learned a lot about creating guest experiences and financial business success by watching her father, who was a hotel General Manager for over 40 years. After graduating Magna Cum Laude from the University of Colorado, Boulder with a degree finance and accounting, she returned to the business she grew up in and opened two Italian pizzerias in the Denver Metro area.
​
Terri moved back to the Coachella Valley in 2013 and returned to the family business, Le Vallauris Restaurant. She was delighted to then accept the prestigious position at The Ritz-Carlton, Rancho Mirage as the General Manager of The Edge Steakhouse.
​
What sets SMI apart from other design firms is encapsulated in Terri’s commitment to paying attention to details, and providing a 5 star experience for our clients!
