Aha Moment - The reason I design
Several years ago, a dear friend was over for a dinner party that lasted well into the night. She commented that our home was not only beautiful but so comfortable that she just wanted to stay a little longer. That’s when a lightbulb went off. She beautifully verbalized the reason that I design…my goal is to design spaces that invite people in and encourage them to stay.
Our surroundings have a powerful impact on our wellbeing. A home is a space that brings people together. It should be a haven where we can relax, recharge and enjoy spending time with our family and friends. That is what my home is to me and my passion and purpose as a designer is to create that same environment for you. I will work with you to incorporate aesthetics, functionality and comfort into each design to create inviting spaces that look and feel great…spaces that make you want to stay a little longer.
While interior design is my second career, it has always been my first passion…
I have always immensely appreciated beautiful spaces. Before becoming a designer, I was fortunate to have a rewarding career as a business consultant. Consulting equipped me with skills in communication, collaboration, project management and budgeting, which have given me a significant advantage in executing interior projects seamlessly. After a lifelong passion (some might say obsession) for interior design, I decided to follow my dream. Adding an interior design degree to my MBA allowed me to start my own interior design firm. I have several years of interior design experience creating beautiful and functional residential spaces. I’m thrilled to be doing what I love, excited to take on new projects and enjoy getting to know my clients.
