I grew up on a farm in Bridgewater Virginia, and have always been interested in design.  Living on a farm gave me lots of space to be creative. Whether I was redesigning my bedroom, or exploring the family farm, I was always imagining how to make everything more visually appealing.  I love the idea of creating things that are as beautiful as they are functional. Now, as an interior designer, I get to bring my problem-solving abilities to clients’ homes and workspaces.

Seeing clients feel peaceful and at home in their own space is the reward for a design job well done.  When I first start a design project I begin by figuring out how clients feel in the current space. I listen to clients to determine their needs. Seeing the clients emotional response, and hearing about their needs, helps me to make sure that I produce a design that is not just visually and functionally appealing, but also brings “home” to the space. It is easy to just fill or change an area. Finding a purposeful design is the art that I love.
