Even at a young age, I knew I loved design. In 8th grade, we had to write a letter to ourselves that was put in a time capsule. In my letter, at the age of 13, I wrote the importance of large interior windows and uniformed white Christmas lights. I had my priorities right at that age! In high school/college I always took pride in decorating my rooms and making them a space I would enjoy.

 

I went to DePaul University where I graduated with a double major in marketing and management. After a couple years out of college, I went back to school to study my passions; real estate and interior design. I started at Harrington School of Design in Chicago and the Illinois Art Institute where I finished with my residential design certification. I also received my real estate brokers license.

​

Even though I put a checkmark next to the education part of real estate and design, I still continued my full-time profession in digital ad sales. It was what I initially went to school for and as passionate as I was about real estate and design it was challenging to step away from another career I also worked hard to achieve. 

​

I continued to balance both careers, but struggled. It wasn't until I had 2 amazing kids, Ryan and Avery, that I knew I needed to have more control over my schedule and time at home. So, I re-prioritized my life to shift more focus to what makes me happier. 

 

When it's time to design your space, I take the time to learn your style and things that inspire you so I can incorporate it into your space. I treat it as my own house. I take how you live into consideration and understand what you need out of it. I am conscious of your budget and provide designs that make the best use of it. I'll be thoughtful about where I source product from and how to allocate your budget. In the end, I want you to love where you live.

Whether it's designing new construction, furnishing your home or redesigning a space to make it fresh again, I can help make your home the best that it can be.
