The newest member of the Archeo staff, Patricia's entire background has been in design. With her parents she visited Key West as a young child and says it left indelible memories of light, space, and its unique juxtapositions of art and architecture. Fast forward to college studies in art history, architecture, design and textiles, it was almost inevitable that she would become such a natural fit at Archeo.

Understanding the orientation of spaces is something Patricia learned in her twenty years of owning her own design firm, where she consulted on interior and exterior design and planning. Guiding clients in developing a dwelling space, work space, restaurant or spa that reflects the surrounding architecture and embraces nature became her goal.

A writer once said the journey, not the arrival, matters. Archeo makes the journey - the travel to the heart of where and how. To Patricia, the origin and the process of creating the work that Archeo so carefully collects, count as much as the context and placement of the pieces themselves.
