Career Makeover
Davis: One-day wonders and domestic do-overs. Photo by Sean Dougherty |
Maximum utilization of assets on hand is a key to business success. Its also an operating philosophy for Jackie Davis (MBA 83), a former executive whos now a TV personality and interior designer. When Davis does a redecorating makeover, she typically limits herself to whats already in the home, with maybe a few widely available added touches shell bring in from outside. And often, by her own choice, shell do the job all in one day. If I was rich, I would do it for free, declared Davis, who previously spent twenty years in high tech. Thats how much I love what I do (Boston Globe, July 8, 2004).
Davis first worked at IBM before moving on to Digital. While there, she enrolled in night classes in interior decorating, a longtime interest. Through her membership in a design association, she was discovered by HGTV, which was looking for redesigners for its one-day decorating show, Decorating Cents. In addition to her TV gig and her one-day makeovers, Davis does traditional decorating and real-estate staging through RoomScape Interiors, her Wilmington, Massachusettsbased business.
