Small Business Day delves into interior design Our Small Business Day in August brought us Alexis Cutter, The Domestic Decorator. After studying at Stephens College in Columbia, Missouri., Alexis had a 10-year career at Brown Shoe Company in St. Louis. She traveled to China and Europe several times a year, and worked with shoe design, most recently with Dr. Scholl’s. After some thought, Alexis decided to take another skill and passion and work from home, so she could stay with her two small children. Interior design was a passion she had always had, and she turned that into her small business, “Domestic Decorator.” Alexis visited with residents and gave a presentation with several pictures of elegant interior design projects. Residents asked questions and got tips. Sign up to receive our newsletter by email. Message smay2@ pmma.org and ask to have the newsletter delivered to your inbox. It’s that easy!
Bethany Holohan, life enrichment director, asked Alexis what sweet treat she would choose to represent her decorating style, and she chose meringues.. When she designs a room, she wants it to feel “light and airy,” a place you can sit back and breathe and feel comfortable. Residents in attendance were treated to meringues as a favor.
