The Art Institute – BFA in Interior Design
Favorite Room to Design:
I love cooking and baking for family and friends, so kitchen design is one of my specialties. I feel like the kitchen is the heartbeat of the home, so getting to make it functional and beautiful for my clients is the most rewarding feeling.
My Design Approach:
I enjoy offering solutions to busy families, enriching their lives and making their home more personal! As a spouse to a retired US Marine and a mother of three daughters, I am especially skilled at project management, space planning and organization.
Where You Can Find Me Outside of the Studio:
In my free time I love to go salsa dancing with my husband when I’m not providing “taxi” service to my three active daughters. I really enjoy the Houston foodie scene and love trying new restaurants.

Favorite Room to Design:
The dinner table has always been my favorite place to gather and connect with people, so I love the idea of making formal dining rooms into spaces that are fun and usable for the everyday lifestyle.
My Design Approach:
Color has always been very powerful to me so I start by creating a unique color palette. My goal is to push the design by presenting funky and bold choices to help my clients find their unique style.
Where You Can Find Me Outside of the Studio:
In my free time I enjoy exploring different forms of creativity, from painting to baking and even fashion. I like to stay active by going on long walks with friends and dancing around my apartment.

PROJECT DESIGNER
Education:
Sam Houston State University – BFA in Interior Design
Favorite Room to Design:
I enjoy designing bathrooms because it is the first place you see in the morning and the last place you see at night. My goal is to create a space for rejuvenation and relaxation through renovation.
My Design Approach:
I like to start by pulling inspiration from art and going from there. The best feeling is presenting a truly unique concept that the client doesn’t realize they want until they see it.
Where You Can Find Me Outside of the Studio:
I love learning about different cultures and history. In my free time you will probably find me at a museum or trying out a new restaurant. I’m also a big F1 fan and like to stay active by playing tennis with friends.
