PORTFOLIO DISPLAY

I live my life through color and design, using everything around me as inspiration. Along with my ability to create visual and practical designs for a variety of applications, I understand the importance of staying at the forefront of the interior design and remodeling industries by keeping current with the latest standards, trends, and technology, as it is constantly evolving. The following projects represent a collection of designs inspired by my learning process and studies of functionality, social interaction, aesthetics, color interpretation, materials, sustainability, and universal design.

Model Home & Staging

To set the soft rustic tone of the house, this living space was completed with a stone fireplace and exposed beams. Emphasizing this theme, both heavy and light neutral furniture pieces were used. The subtle repetition of visual elements such as texture and detailed stencil work in this space keeps the theme flowing through the home. Walls of paneled cream cabinetry paired with a dark and contrasting island, convey and continue the rustic chic atmosphere of the house. A backsplash made of large tiles is accented with an earth tone pebble band This kitchen opens up to the breakfast nook and living room, making it the social region of this home.

Model Homes & staging

Neutral tones, light fabrics, and personalized accents in each of these rooms help unify the soft rustic theme of the home. Customizing the size and style of each furniture piece aides as a anchor to a large space.


This contemporary home's color palette is based on earth tones with orange accents. Smaller, but cushioned seating brings comfort to the space. The kitchen opens up to family room, while the dining room is just steps away.


Straight lines and dark finishes dominate this transitional home. Neutral furniture pieces with accent wall treatments unify each space.
