As a Certified Interior Color Coordinator and Feng Shui Expert, Nobuyo is passionate about helping people bring positive changes into their lives and sustain their life aspirations. She studied color theory and application at Sensational Color and received her certificate. She also studied at the International Feng Shui School and earned her Feng Shui Master Certificate.

Since she was a young girl, Nobuyo was always fascinated with the full spectrum of hues, as well as with the stars in the universe. “I could spend a whole day just watching a field of colorful flowers or stay up all night staring at stars in the sky. You may think these two things are totally unrelated, but somehow I have found a way to put them together philosophically and it made sense.”

Nobuyo brings her unique blend of love for color (visible) and passion for Flying Star Feng Shui (invisible) and creates beautiful and sustainable environments in which to live and work.

Nobuyo was born and raised in Japan and moved to Maryland to pursue her graduate studies at the George Washington University. She has two Master’s Degrees: Master of Science in Project Management and Master of Tourism Administration. Nobuyo is also a pilot and holds a FAA Private Pilot Certificate.
