Life in Design.
"Some of my earliest memories of design were at home, rearranging the living room furniture with my mom. It was such a simple act, but I remember how different the room could feel afterward. Moving a sofa, changing the direction of a chair, opening up a space; it was almost as if the energy of the entire house shifted."
That feeling stayed with me.
Creativity has always found its way into my life in many forms. Interior design is one expression of it, but so are painting, photography, gardening, culinary arts, and whatever new creative idea happens to capture my imagination. I’ve always been drawn to making, experimenting, and seeing where an idea can take me.
My creative foundation began in elementary school, where I attended an art-oriented program that focused on different forms of art into education. I also found my place in the performing arts, where I learned about rhythm, harmony, movement, and spatial awareness; principles that continue to influence the way I see & approach design today.
Those were some of the most formative years of my life.
I began to put language around something I had always instinctively understood. I discovered that what came naturally to me had a deeper vocabulary-one rooted in composition, proportion, texture, form, function, light, & space.
My professional journey began as a visual stylist in Los Angeles, California with Bloomingdale’s.
It was an experience that taught me so much about presentation, visual storytelling, & the power of creating an experience.
But somewhere along the way, I realized I was longing for something more.
What I discovered was that it wasn’t only the design I loved. It was the people.
"It's an honor to step into
someone’s world,
understand
what matters to them,
& help create a new
chapter in the place they
call home is what makes
this work meaningful
to me."
"There was a freedom in simply being myself, surrounded by art & creativity. It was where I felt most connected to who I was."
I believe design is not simply about aesthetics. It is about the relationship between objects, materials, light, space, and the people who inhabit them. For me, design is both intuitive and intentional. It is the art of living, a quiet dance between instinct and intention. Perhaps that is what has always drawn me to it. Beyond the beauty of a space lies something more elusive: the way it makes us feel, the way we move through it, and how, over time, it becomes a reflection of who we are and who we are becoming.
