My emphasis on the emotional connection to one's environment is the result of my unique upbringing as the daughter of an interior designer and a school psychologist. Having grown up in the industry, I developed an innate understanding of how to blend aesthetics with functionality, creating spaces that are both beautiful and livable.

After a summer program at Pratt Institute of Design, I decided to blend my love of design with my desire to make a positive human impact. While earning a B.S. in Human Development and Family Studies, I worked with various non-profits to re-design their spaces to better suit the developmental needs of people they served. During this time I also did my study abroad in Prague, Czech Republic and immersed myself in classes on architecture and art history.

Having been completely inspired, I began enriching my life more intentionally. I spent time in quaint historic towns like Colebrook, CT and Telluride, CO until eventually deciding to move abroad to teach English. In this chapter of my life I found the purest forms of inspiration in the colors, textures, and craftsmanship of the countries I lived in (Peru, Guatemala, & Costa Rica). After eight years spent abroad, I returned to the U.S. with the drive to enrich spaces with the vibrancy and authenticity of the places I had been.

Now based in Oregon, I prioritize projects that enable me to collaborate with my network of local and international artisans to create spaces that are tailored to my clients' individual needs.

Though I grew up on job sites, I came into my own as an interior designer while living in Latin America. Having the opportunity to work with local craftsman and artisans to create custom pieces very much shaped my ideas and ethos in the context of designing spaces.

I've had the pleasure of working on a diverse range of projects, from blank-slate new-builds and historical homes, to individual rooms and corporate spaces. I feel at ease in any of these environments and love the variety they bring to my work. My approach is hands-on and collaborative, primarily using mood boards and client consultations to ensure that each space reflects the unique personality and needs of my clients.
