Creative collaboration is gift to all involved. So, I treasured the opportunity to share the spotlight, in Lake Austin Lifestyle Magazine, with the woman who was my very first inspiration, my mother, Donna Stockton Hicks. Interior designer and co-owner of Stockton Hicks Laffey trade showroom in Austin, Texas, this woman has everything to do with my love for this profession. When I say that interior design is in my blood, I mean it literally!
