The intentionality behind our designs speaks for itself.
Growing up, I was immersed in design. My dad owned a kitchen and bath showroom, and I would always visit and see the new projects. When I went to college, I was interested in residential design, but gradually, my interests shifted to commercial spaces. We spend a lot of time in these spaces, and I get a lot of satisfaction from creating something that impacts everyday lives. Working with clients and learning how the space will function is one of the best parts of the design process.
Why interior design?
Most people spend around 90% of their day indoors, so creating spaces that are enjoyable for humans to spend that much of their time in is very rewarding. I love the blend of making a space work functionally while making the space feel aesthetically pleasing and comfortable to the end users.
What drives you?
What drives me is my daughter. She inspires me to be a better person - someone who is more patient, kind, and understanding. I continually strive to be a good role model for her as she grows up.
What do you do in your spare time?
I love spending time with my family – my husband, Billy, and our 2-year-old daughter, Georgia. We recently started a small garden on our acreage and the whole family has been loving all the fresh produce! I also love baking - bread, desserts, whatever it may be - and I’ve been getting into cooking more, especially when it comes to making healthy meals for my family.
