Barry’s passion for beauty finds expression in many forms through partnerships with internationally renowned companies including Ann Sacks Tile & Stone, Baker Furniture, Boyd Lighting, Henredon Furniture, Kallista, Kravet, Visual Comfort, Global Views, and Wedgwood.

As a self-taught designer who has endeavored to make her mark in this industry, it means so much to me to be recognized. I believe that we are called to offer our unique gift and I thank the Las Vegas Market from the bottom of my heart for recognizing mine,” Barry remarks.
