Abby’s passion for design began when she was eight years old. Her father, trained in landscape architecture, taught her how to hand-draft the design of her bedroom to maximize the functionality of the space. Her mother, a licensed mental health counselor, helped set the tone through a design concept centered around butterflies. Together, they created a room that felt personal and meaningful, a space fit for a little girl who had just discovered her love for design
Years later, she earned a Bachelor of Science in Interior Architecture and Design from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth and began her career working as an interior designer and later a production coordinator located at a few firms on the coast of Rhode Island. Now she embraces a new chapter at Topnotch Design Studio where she's excited to focus on Kitchen and Bath Design, helping transform houses in homes that are functional and aesthetically pleasing.
