I am passionate about so many things that make a house a home: sumptuous textiles, classic antique tables, and quality lighting. But for me, it’s about the people. Partnering with clients, architects and contractors to design and build homes that fulfill a client’s dream—that is my primary motivation. 

Having spent years as an in-house designer at both a residential construction company and an interior design firm, I uniquely understand the process of designing and building a home. Knowing how to guide clients through the process with calm and clarity is my super power.

My design skills flex from minimal to maximal, monochromatic to rich in color. It’s all about what will be best for the client. In my personal home, I am a bit of an Anglophile, and adore traditional spaces that are layered, but not cluttered.

I am a lifelong Kansas Citian and live in Fairway with my husband, Jack, daughter, Mimi, and English Bulldog, Angus.
