Yvette’s love for design and architecture began when she was a child.  Her father was a civil engineer and she grew up constantly around the work he brought home – including work drawings and drafting tools.  Yvette pursued her dream and graduated from San Jose State University with a B.S. in Interior Design, and has been in the field of architectural design ever since.  She even still loves old school hand-drafting!

When Yvette is not in her art studio fulfilling her other passion, she is in her garden or spending quality time with her family.  Before she knows it, she and her husband will be empty nesters and she’s not quite sure if she’s ready for that!
