• I would define my personal design style as Modern Eclectic. I love combining contemporary and vintage pieces while incorporating strong colors, patterns, and textures.

• My dream project would be a restaurant in a National Park where I could reflect the majesty of the outdoors and create a seamless transition between the surrounding environment and the interior design.

• I am most inspired by nature. I grew up surrounded by mountains with variety in color, vegetation, and wildlife and it is a constant inspiration.

• I had the opportunity to furnish a mid-century modern home and I loved incorporating the original architect’s custom outdoor sculptures into the new design concept. The chance to combine pieces from the original aesthetic with a new functional design that honored the artistry of the house was a really exceptional experience.
