Let’s create a home, not just a house.

Tired of boring and soulless builder homes that were clearly designed by a man who never does laundry?

me too...

HERE'S WHY I CAN HELP with that

My Story

I'm a trained and licensed architect AND a mom who used to struggle keeping up with the laundry and keeping the mail, the toys, the carseat - you name it - off the kitchen island or dining room table.

Then my husband and I built our dream home. I designed a big laundry room with space to fold and organize, a large drop zone right inside the door so the island was kept clear for cooking and socializing...

And that's how I know that the flow and function of the home truly can make you happier.

Why my designs are special:

Flow

Paying attention to how people naturally flow between rooms and tasks in their house, all of our plans keep a busy mom and her busy family in mind.

Function

A home can be the most beautiful thing you've ever seen, but if it doesn't actually function the way you need to use it, then it will never be the right home.

Family

Whether you're newly married, in the trenches of toddlers & teenagers, or empty nesters, family is at the heart of every design.

If You’re Early in the Home Planning Process

(6–12+ months out, lots of ideas, no clear direction yet)

You might be:
  • Saving hundreds of pins
  • Unsure what really matters versus what just looks good
  • Afraid of choosing the wrong layout
  • Carrying the mental load for your whole family

This free guide helps you clarify early home planning priorities — like layout flow, storage, light, and daily routines — so you can stop researching everything and focus on what actually supports your life.

This is not about choosing a house plan yet.
It’s about clarity, relief, and a calmer starting point.

If You’re Choosing Between House Plans

(Comparing one or two plans, tweaking layouts, almost ready — but unsettled)

You might be:
  • Narrowing down house plans but not fully confident
  • Wondering if something will work long-term
  • Going back and forth without resolution
  • Afraid of regret after committing

This free guide is a calm reality check to help you stress-test a house plan before building or committing. It helps you spot common house plan mistakes, understand trade-offs, and see where clarity is still missing.

It won’t tell you what to choose.
It helps you ask better questions before the decision is permanent.
