As a young child, Dorene had a love of candy and an eye for design. Growing up in Connecticut, annual summer vacations to Cape Cod proved to be more of a candy escape, making candy stops from Hyannis to Provincetown. The sugary aromas and the salty air made for a perfect combination and everlasting sweet memories.
After moving to Cape Cod in 1979, Dorene attended New England School of Art & Design in Boston, pursuing a career in Graphic Design. Through the exciting adventure of raising four children and hosting many a private and public event, she found the perfect combination for her sweet addiction and design talent. Hence, The Perfect Table was set.
