With MSTSD, the Studio was involved in the design of an additional 20 projects for the 1996 Games. Following the Olympics, Cindy returned to commercial architectural firms including MSTSD (as a Principal of Interior Design,) Niles Bolton Associates (as Vice President, Director of Interior Design,) and KDA (as Director of Design.)

In 2002, Cindy relocated to the North Georgia Mountains where the studio rapidly became one of the most sought after interior design firms specializing mountain, lodge and rustic homes. The studio has worked closely with many local and national magazines in addition to lifestyle and regional websites to write articles and blogs about mountain design.
