Cindy - Author
Cindy Valenti dreamed of two things when she was little—being a writer and being an architect and as such, her college degree is in writing with an emphasis on design and architecture. As a single homeowner, she’s enjoyed redesigning the inside and outside of her 2400 sq ft home, often creating custom designs after hours of research. She’s protective of her power tools, especially her chainsaw, and loves to paint, tile, repair, and create interior designs while also helping friends and family with their home makeovers.
