I believe that beauty and function should be seamlessly woven together—because a home should not only be beautiful, but truly support the way you live. Before becoming an interior designer, I earned my doctorate in Physical Therapy and spent more than 15 years in the medical field. That education and experience profoundly shape the way I approach design. I studied how the body moves, adapts, and thrives in physical environments, which gives me a unique perspective on scale, flow, ergonomics, and how spaces truly function day to day. Today, I translate that knowledge into interiors that are not only timeless and elevated, but thoughtfully designed for real life.

I specialize in interior design for new builds and home remodels, partnering with busy professionals and families who are creating homes that serve as a retreat from demanding lives. My projects span from mountain retreats in New Hampshire to waterfront homes in the Annapolis area, each designed to reflect the landscape, lifestyle, and long-term needs of the people who live there. I guide my clients through every phase of the design process with clarity, intention, and a steady hand—removing stress while elevating the final result.

As part of a military family, I’ve lived across the United States and in Europe, drawing lasting inspiration from diverse architecture, cultures, and ways of living. Those experiences inform my design approach with a balance of refinement, comfort, and a strong sense of place.

When I’m not designing, you’ll find me staying active and enjoying the outdoors—whether practicing yoga, hiking, trail running, or snowboarding in the mountains. I’m a true fitness enthusiast and love sharing this active lifestyle with my husband, our three kids, and our golden retriever, Bodhi.
