Education

As an undergraduate student at the interior design and architecture department of Oklahoma University, Chloe’s fascination with unique furniture began. After completing her BA in 2006, she traveled extensively in Europe, participating in world-class antique shows and inhaling the splendor of Old World architecture and design. It was there where she realized she wanted to keep on learning. Upon her return to the States, she was admitted to Academy of Art University in San Francisco, where she obtained her MFA degree in 2013.
