Moody. Warm. Eclectic.
I gravitate toward moody, warm spaces that tell a story—classic foundations with eclectic layers, vintage textures, and just the right amount of bold. Think: a touch of black paint, mixed metal finishes, a collected-over-time feel, and always a cozy corner to curl up in.
When I design, I’m not just thinking about how a room looks—I’m thinking about how it feels to live in. I believe great design should be both beautiful and livable. Whether I’m styling a shelf, choosing paint colors, or mapping out a room layout, I aim to make it approachable, intentional, and rooted in real life (yes, even with kids and pets and piles of laundry).
I want your room to tell a story—and maybe even spark a conversation. The goal isn’t perfection—it’s personality, comfort, and charm that reflects you.
My process starts with listening—your story, your routines, your dream vibe. From there, I gather visual inspiration, pull together layered concepts, and guide you through decisions that feel good. Whether you’re prepping your home for sale or breathing new life into a forever home, I’m here to help you elevate the everyday.
Off the clock:
When I’m not styling spaces or showing homes, you’ll find me chasing my four kids around, arranging flowers just for fun, or sneaking off to the mountains with my snowboard. I love strong coffee, supporting small businesses, and a good road trip. I’m always up for a DIY project, a fire and s’mores, or planning a celebration just because. On summer weekends, you’ll find me surfing on the lake with my family. And if you hear a North Dakota accent, don’t worry—it’s just part of the charm.
