A Day With Barclay – Barclay Butera

Yesterday, I had the privilege to share a day with design icon Barclay Butera. As an interior designer and a creator of luxury designer furnishings, Barclay is widely recognized as a star of the design industry. Recently, in partnership with Kravet, Barclay launched an innovative line of fabric and rug collections. His sophisticated taste is overtly visible in each of his four thematic design groupings: Mountain, Town & Country, City, and Beach. To view Barclay’s new collections, I encourage you to visit the following link

During my time with Barclay, I learned that in order to become an iconic figure in the design industry, your vocation must be the dominate focus of your personal lifestyle. Like Barclay, you must have an inherent passion for design that is inextricably rooted deep within your heart and soul. Barclay is not only a talented designer, he is actively engaged in the trade, attends all the top parties and social events, and he mingles on equal footing with individuals from all walks of life.

Barclay, I congratulate you on your fabulous new Kravet collections and I thank you for taking the time to educate me on your path to success as a recognizable figure in design. Your positive approach to the business and social aspects of design is a model every luxury interior designer should analyze.

Respectfully,

Arizona Interior Designer Lina Quintero Recognized By The Arizona Republic & AZCentral.com As One Of Arizona’s Top 35 Entrepreneurs, 35 & Under

Recently, I was recognized by The Arizona Republic & AZCentral.com as one of the top 35 entrepreneurs in Arizona who are 35 years of age or younger. This high mark of distinction was authenticated by a panel of five judges who sifted through a field of over 175 competitors. Initially, the group of competitors was divided into two separate lists of the top 35 males and 35 females. Then, the combined top 70 male and female candidates were pared to the ultimate list of Arizona’s top 35 Entrepreneurs, 35 and Under.

This is an award that I will never forget. To be recognized at 27 as one of Arizona’s up-and-coming business leaders is a remarkable accomplishment. Yet, with this accomplishment comes tremendous expectations for the future. This recognition will spur my motivation to take the next giant leap in my career. I look forward to the opportunity to make an even greater impact in the local business community.

I extend my congratulations to the other 34 entrepreneurs who made the list. It is an honor to be in your company.
