Born and raised in the Portland area, I love this community and the fulfilling life I get to live here. My love of interiors and design was sparked with early travels to design-rich cities like New York and London, and was cultivated during my time in Seattle where I studied and earned a bachelors degree in Interior Design. Early on in my career I cemented my passion for esign and its history while traveling through France and Italy, where I experienced how space! an tell a story and how art, furniture, color, texture and thoughtful use of space can transform the way we live.
