Design has always been rooted in how people experience space.

With over 20 years in interior design, my work has spanned hospitality, commercial, and residential environments—from boutique and branded hotels, financial institutions, multi-family residences and private homes. Across each project, I’ve developed a consistent approach: creating spaces that are not only visually refined, but also comfortable, functional, and built to endure.

Over time, I recognized that successful design extends beyond concept. It requires alignment with budget, coordination with project teams, and a clear path through procurement and execution. This understanding shaped how I practice today—working collaboratively with a trusted network of drafters, rendering specialists, architects, purchasing agents and builders to ensure continuity from initial vision through final installation.

I studied design at Seattle Pacific University, American College of London, and Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising, experiences that continue to influence a design perspective grounded in both creativity and real-world application.

Outside of my work, my perspective is shaped by time spent with my family and my three teenage children. Traveling together, skiing, hiking, attending baseball games, and reading all contribute to how I think about comfort, movement, and the everyday experience of a space.
