What aspect of your work are you most proud of?

I’m most proud that I built a respected design business while raising three children and reinventing myself. That journey shaped how I design, creating layered and intentional homes that feel deeply personal to the families who live in them.

Where do you find energy and inspiration for what you do?
I find energy and inspiration in growth. Over the years, learning to adapt and embrace change has taught me to see possibility everywhere, whether in a dated floor plan or in a client’s vision. That perspective keeps my work evolving and grounded in real life.

How can women in your field support other women just starting out?
I think women in design thrive when we lift each other up. I love sharing what I’ve learned, offering advice, and cheering on those just starting out so they feel seen, supported, and ready to take risks. No matter the business, we’ve all been new once, and remembering that helps us support each other.
