“I can't be a singular expression of myself, there's too many parts, too many spaces, too many manifestations, too many lines, too many curves, too many troubles, too many journeys, too many mountains, too many rivers, so many…”

ABOUT

As a designer driven by curiosity and a passion for storytelling, I create spaces that blend creativity, functionality, and innovation to connect, inspire, and elevate. With a BFA in Interior Design from the Savannah College of Art and Design, my work focus on crafting bespoke environments, transcends aesthetics, and delivering designs that resonate deeply and transform the human experience. Whether shaping amenity-rich workplaces that foster collaboration or reimagining adaptive reuse spaces, I approach each project with a commitment to aligning design with strategy to propel brands, people, and communities forward.

EXPERIENCE

Over the past decade, I’ve honed expertise across corporate, workplace, adaptive reuse, hospitality, and luxury residential design, partnering with organizations worldwide to shape their built environments. From leading the redesign of fast-growing workplaces to reimagining established brands’ spaces, I collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to deliver solutions tailored to each client’s culture, goals, and vision. My work integrates sustainable principles, balances creativity with practicality, and reflects a deep understanding of the future of work and human-centered design.

As a licensed interior designer, I combine technical proficiency in Revit and Adobe Creative Suite with a talent for visual storytelling, enabling me to produce detailed construction documents and compelling presentations. With a hands-on approach, I consistently deliver adaptive and impactful designs that spark connection, innovation, and growth while leaving a lasting, meaningful impact.

She has a great ability of putting a set of documents together and keeping the team on track with deadlines is beyond her years of experience.”

When not immersed in the world of design, I find joy in storytelling the everyday adventures I share with my Vizsla pointer, Blaze. Whether exploring new trails, chasing the sunrise, or simply enjoying quiet moments together, Blaze’s boundless energy and curious nature provide endless inspiration. These experiences fuel my creativity and remind me to appreciate the simple, beautiful moments in life.
