My name is Patrice Arends Hawkins, a dynamic decorator who eagerly looks forward to helping area homeowners beautify their homes with top quality home furnishings products, and exceptional interior decorating services.
My background is quite varied. Born and raised in Aruba, I speak five languages: Dutch, English, Spanish, French, and Papiamento (the dialect of the Antilles). I moved to the United States in 1969, to complete my education, ultimately graduating from Loyola College in Baltimore, Maryland, where I met my husband. We are the proud parents of two adults. Before joining INTERIORS by Decorating Den in 2004, I retired after 25 yrs with Bank of America as a Vice President, and Tax Manager.
In 2006, I received the INTERIORS by Decorating Den Chairman’s Positive Thinker award for business leadership, and am a member of the INTERIORS by Decorating Den prestigious Century Society for Business Excellence. In May 2006, I was named to the INTERIORS by Decorating Den top forty franchisees. In the spring of 2007 my work was featured in Today’s Charlotte Homes, an upscale developer and real estate magazine. I was also featured in the April issue of Today’s Charlotte Women. Just recently I received a breaking records award at our 38th Annual Conference in Nashville, TN. In May 2008 I was elected by my peers to The Leadership Counsel, a group of 10 franchise owners, who represent the voice of the 500+ franchise owners in the U.S. as well as Canada.
When not busy helping clients beautify their surroundings, I wholeheartedly believe in giving back to my community. An active member of the Women’s Initiative Network (a Christian Organization for Working Women), ST. Matthew’s Women Guild, Business Networking (BNI group), Charlotte Catholic Women Group (CCWG) and the Latin American Chamber of Commerce of Charlotte (LACCC) as well as active volunteer for Habitat for Humanity and Junior Achievement.
I pride myself on providing first class service to my clients, while diligently working with them to achieve their design dreams. I enjoy helping my customers achieve that beautiful home of their dreams.
