About

My journey into interior design began at a young age, sparked by an interest in art and architecture. Growing up, I was exposed to a variety of homes through my father and grandfather’s painting and wallpaper hanging business. This early exposure ignited my passion for design. After earning an AAS in Architectural Drafting and Design from Johnson College in Scranton, PA, I moved to San Diego to pursue further education. It was there that my career in interior design truly began, culminating in a BFA in Interior Design from the Design Institute of San Diego, which opened many doors for me.

Over the following years, I gained valuable experience working for several high-end interior design firms, completing a range of residential and commercial projects. This extensive background has enabled me to offer my clients a knowledgeable and customized design process tailored to their specific needs. I take great pride in creating spaces that are both highly functional and aesthetically pleasing.
