I’m  a  nationally Certified Professional Building Designer, and Texas Registered Interior Designer.  I live just outside of Dallas Texas, in a vintage Cape Cod cottage in the woods. 

I’m a born-and-raised, 5th generation Texan.  Because my father is a (retired) Air Force pilot, we lived in rural England for a time.  Even though I was a young child when we lived over seas, the experience greatly influenced my life.  I know my time there ingrained my love for traditional and vernacular design.

In my 25 years of experience, I have been an art teacher, floral designer, visual merchandiser, graphic designer, movie set decorator, and for the last 18 years, an interior designer. During this time I have developed a deep appreciation for authenticity in design. I love harmony, balance & tradition layered with modern function, color and personality. In addition to interiors, I design new homes from the ground up in various traditional styles with modern floor plans.

When I’m not designing houses, you can find me fixing up my own vintage cottage, shopping at vintage shops and antique markets, or visiting historic places.
