About

I became an architect because I am super passionate about people and homes. And designing these multi-million dollar second homes deep in the mountains was very interesting! There was seemingly no budget, lots of opportunity to get creative with form and materials, and of course gorgeous views to highlight. But it just felt like a waste of time and building materials since these home weren't truly lived in - most of them were second homes and visited only a few times a year. So, I decided to branch out on my own and focus on serving regular ole people (just like me!) in their everyday home. 

Once I became a mom, I knew that I wanted to design homes that not only were cozy and beautiful, but also completely functional for all the things moms do (hello invisible labor and mental load!).

I dreamt of large laundry rooms with space for baskets and folding clothes, big kitchen islands for meal prep & homework time while cooking dinner, and lots of windows and cozy nooks to truly unwind at the end of a long busy day. 

I've found that if a home is designed to work with your family's habits rather than just being beautiful, you and your family will be so much happier and healthier in your home. The flow from one room to another and the function of each nook in that room is the most important part of turning a house into a home.
