ABOUT
After a decade of corporate merchandising, marketing, team building, and leadership, Annette emerged into entrepreneurship with her creativity in hand. Her knack for building companies and then selling them brought success. Annette's passion led her to build the top real estate team in her market. Excelling in seeing patterns and building efficient connective systems, she developed Client's Choice to price and design a new home in an hour-long consultation. Client's Choice drove A Design Discovery’s new construction division to build, draft, and design over 400 new homes, each one crafted to align with her clients' dream lives.
There’s the plan and then there is life with its twists and turns, which led Annette into her own 30-year personal growth journey. Through weaving her clients' dreams with all her mind, body, and spirit practices, A Design Discovery expanded to include inner and outer space alignment.
She expanded her skills to bio-energy, Feng Shui, soul coaching, mindfulness practices, meditation, and cultivating emotional balance as she navigated life’s challenges: from marriage to divorce, motherhood to empty nest, corporate to entrepreneur, surviving violence to living in compassionate alignment with her abundance and truth, cancer, and the nuances of business building from cash flow to forming a board of directors.
She often says, "Our dream life flows best our dream space."
As an intuit designer, entrepreneur, and business & life coach, Annette will open the space you need to expand into a life by your design.

"Annette has taught me so much about using the elements of nature to create space in my home that feels energetically peaceful to me. She has also taught me to think thru how I want my space, or my art, to feel. I have learned how to trust my intuition, not only in design, but all areas of my life!" – Ginnie
"In this overwhelming world we live in, it’s so easy to live in constant anxiety and fear. Annette has taught me tools and helped integrate those tools to work through and overcome those day-to-day anxieties. She’s supported me through life transitions and has helped me grow as a kinder and more compassionate person, toward others and myself. Whether it’s business or life coaching, she has truly changed my life for the better!" – Jordan
"Annette taught me tools to gain my power back and help me grieve on so many levels. I love the fact that she’s truly authentic and loves helping people be the best that they can be. Being around Annette makes me feel better about myself. She’s a single mom and bad-ass business builder. She knows when somebody needs a hug or if she needs to slow down to breathe deep with them or laugh out loud. She taught me clarity to say no and have no explanation for anyone. That’s the biggest gift. I can say no instead of people pleasing." – Amy

Discover
“A journey with a client begins with discovery. Discovering what life they are looking to live – their specific wishes, budgets, and what has inspired them to seek change. After we love it, lose it or use it – we find a place for everything we love or use and everything has its place. Unlike pristine design magazine pictures and social media, we live in the real world of kids, pets, entertaining, working . . . so creating a life that makes living simple is where dreams come true.”
