Seven years ago, Stacy, after a stint as a host of several Tokyo talk shows, decided to move back to the States to pursue her passion for design.   She enrolled in Parsons School of Design and worked with clients as an Interior Design Consultant.   Stacy opened Rhubarb Home Ltd. in 1995.

Rhubarb Home's inventory is culled from village and farm communities near Stacy's hometown of Gnadenhutten, Ohio.   Other pieces were collected while Stacy worked with Latin American artisans creating craft co-operative in their villages.   This collection inspired Stacy to begin designing and producing her own line of home furnishings ( two years ago ).   Although Rhubarb Home has closed, she maintains her furniture production company.   She is also now the contributing Homestyle editor at Cosmopolitan Magazine.   Stacy works with Naiztat & Ham design as an in-house interior designer.   Her contribution to the office has expanded Naiztat & Ham's services into full home fit-outs.
