Felicitas on the MTI vendor excursion

NKBA Manhattan is pleased to announce Felicitas Oefelein has been named our Vendor Excursion Coordinator.

"Just a little over two years ago, I was invited to visit MONOGRAM as a part of a group of NKBA members. I had so much fun, that shortly afterwards I decided to join this great organization. Since then, I have had the opportunity to travel to MTI in Georgia, back to MONOGRAM in KY for their annual Designer Summit, and I just returned from Jenn-Air in Chicago. I am very excited to be in charge of vendor excursions for the Manhattan chapter. Beyond going on fun trips, I enjoy our monthly board meetings and have made some real friends in this awesome community. I moved to New York from Germany over 20 years ago. Now I specialize in high-end residential design and own two companies: FO Design and HomedesignRX. I also taught Materials at Parsons for a number of years, so I have a natural passion for designing kitchens and bathrooms-anything with hard surfaces. I share my home with my cat-man Basil, love to grow herbs and veggies in the summer, and entertain and cook with friends and neighbors in my renovated kitchen."
