about me
With over 20 years in the world of design, I have done it all - showrooms, remodeling, kitchen and bath concepts, full service design - you name it! From day one, I have loved classical design with traditional form. I believe this what gives all design life -- it is the foundation!
I am always outside, immersed in nature. This is where I draw most of my inspiration. It keeps ideas fresh and unexpected. I am passionate about interior architecture and millwork (seriously, there's always a stack of books on my desk). I take a hands on approach to every project with a love for the details that make a home truly special.
When not engaged in the world of design, you'll find me off on an adventure with my daughter and husband -- bike riding, rock climbing, canoeing or kayaking. And let's not forget the endless hunt for the treasures on Facebook Marketplace -- it is all about finding that next great piece with a story to tell.
