Elizabeth attended the University of Texas at Austin where she earned a Bachelor of Natural Science in Interior Design.  She began her career as an intern but was soon promoted to junior designer and eventually on to project planner with Robert Young Associates.  There she worked on the Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdale’s and Macy’s West accounts.  Eventually, she made her way to the Dallas Market Center. There she designed showrooms for the relocation of tenants from the International Apparel Mart to FashionCenterDallas, the new home to the fashion industry for much of the southwestern US.  Eventually, her love of coffee drew her to Starbucks Coffee Company where she has designed stores for the past 4 1/2 years.  Her other interests include philanthropic activities, including but not limited to, fundraising for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Fort Worth and building homes with the Dallas Area Habitat for Humanity.  She also enjoys supporting her beloved University of Texas, traveling and spending time with family and friends.
