📐About Guest:

My journey into architecture began with a love for sketching house plans as a child, which naturally led me to pursue a degree in architecture and design. After college, my husband and I took on home renovations together while I completed my internship at a commercial firm. Once I was licensed, I made my way back to residential design, co-owning a design/build firm and even a green-building supply store. These experiences taught me invaluable lessons about home building from both the contractor and vendor sides—things that deepen my understanding of what it means to create spaces where people truly live and thrive.

Today, in my own firm, I use every bit of this experience to help clients create custom homes that fit their unique lives, needs, and budgets. For me, success is measured by the joy and comfort these homes bring to the people who live in them. The opportunity to bring heart and design together to make a difference in someone’s life.
