Describe your go-to style:

It all depends on the type of mood I am trying to create for the end user. I love modern and contemporary but that can mean so many things. When I was a newly wed, I designed my home to feel more like a loft that was young and hip and perfect for friend get-togethers for game night. It included brick walls, large airy windows and rustic wood furniture with pops of color. Now that I have a baby and have grown, I am redesigning to have a more mature and elegant style that is still light and airy with neutral tones. With that said, my Go-To style is always evolving and adjusts based on the needs of the end user.

What drives you to design?

I like to create an environment that people enjoy living/working/playing in. There is always a new challenge with different clients and pulling things together for a cohesive look motivates me to constantly play with different ideas. It is the notion of linking knowledge and design that helps generate a creative solution to a difficult problem. My favorite quote that I like to live by is, "When I am working on a problem, I never think about beauty but when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong." -Buckminster Fuller

From where do you draw most of your inspiration?

There is no one place that inspiration sparks. It can be colors in a summer salad, patterns created across an old bridge, or rich customs from different cultures that are drawn into the design. Often it is a story line and extensive research about the location, history, and culture the space is trying to capture. It always changes.
