One of my favorite parts of my role at Sherwin-Williams is the opportunity to serve the incredible design community. Every conversation is a chance to learn, every project is an opportunity to collaborate, and every relationship makes the work more meaningful.

I’m especially grateful for friends like . Her creativity is inspiring, but what I admire most is her generosity. She believes that when we share ideas, encourage one another, and work together, everyone wins. That mindset has made her not only a respected leader in our industry, but also someone I’m proud to call a friend.

I also couldn’t ask for a better teammate than .dae to share this journey with. Seeing our team show up every day with a servant’s heart, ready to support designers and help bring their visions to life, reminds me why I love what I do.

Dressed in red, white, and blue, this photo is a reminder that the strongest partnerships are built on trust, collaboration, and a shared commitment to serving others. I’m thankful to be part of an industry where creativity and kindness go hand in hand.

Here’s to the designers who inspire us every day, the partnerships that make us stronger, and the relationships that turn work into something much more meaningful. ❤️🤍💙

💫On June 18, 2007, I walked into the Sherwin-Williams Southwestern Division office expecting a great job with a strong company. What I found was so much more—an incredible journey alongside exceptional people, both internally and externally.
Nineteen years later, I’m proud to celebrate this milestone in the Dallas area, grateful for a company that truly feels like family.
For 15 of those years, I had the privilege of serving as a Designer Account Executive—at times supporting New Orleans and Austin—before being promoted to Designer Marketing Manager in 2022. Today, I have the honor of leading a talented team of 10 Designer Account Executives and one Senior Designer Account Executive.
Together, we partner with residential interior designers—an inspiring community of creatives—to deliver the best outcomes for their projects. Our goal is not just to participate, but to fully immerse ourselves in the design community and collaborate in meaningful ways.
I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve built and deeply honored to serve this amazing team.💙

🌕✨ Once in a Blue Moon…
Did you know a “blue moon” doesn’t actually mean the moon turns blue? It’s the name for a rare event—typically the second full moon in a single month (or the third full moon in a season with four). That’s why it symbolizes something special that doesn’t happen often.
So, in honor of tonight’s blue moon… 💙
