About *
As a former public school teacher and an aspiring interior designer, I hope this portfolio conveys my passion for creating beautiful yet livable interiors. My designs aim to enhance clients living spaces, rather than making them feel like an untouchable showroom.
I am inspired by the clean lines of mid-century modern furniture, the bold patterns of homes in the English Countryside, and the functionality and timelessness of Wabi Sabi design.
Carefully curated interiors that feel beautiful and luxurious, but still livable and practical, is what I strive to emulate for my clients.
What Makes Me Different
My background as a public school teacher, in the program Teach for America, has deeply shaped how I approach design. Teaching trained me to listen closely, communicate clearly, and design with real people in mind. It also required me to collaborate with people of diverse backgrounds, personalities, and needs, strengthening my ability to adapt my communication style and build trust. These skills translate directly to working with clients.
Through years of designing and adapting classroom environments, I developed a strong understanding of how to balance functionality with warmth, creating spaces that feel both practical and welcoming. Initial classroom designs don’t always work. This has taught me to be carefully attuned to both behavioral and verbal feedback from students on how I can improve the functionality of our classroom. I believe the most successful interiors support daily life and feel intuitive, comfortable, and lived in.
My training in dance further informs my understanding of space, movement, and flow, allowing me to think carefully about how people experience interiors beyond aesthetics. I am uniquely aware of how people move through a space and the spatial awareness needed to make interiors feel functional. Finally, working in fields like education and arts administration, has required creative problem-solving within tight budgets, existing structures, and practical limitations. This has prepared me to design interiors resourcefully and realistically.
Designs
Interior mood boards designed for social media. I design anything from small space nooks and crannies, to complete living room designs to inspire audiences. My Pinterest has accrued 419k+ impressions with total engagements, pin clicks and saves, totaling 23k+ over the last 90 days.
Combining pieces of fabric and tiles I have collected, with additional materials sourced online, I’ve created multi-media mood boards using photoshop. These mood boards are an example of what I would present to a client before starting a more in-depth staging process using furniture, textiles, appliances, and other finishes.
Home styling to give you an essence of how I see things artistically and my knack for designing spaces. I’ve created four mood/design boards to show how I would decorate an entire home. These design boards are meant to go together cohesively as if you are moving from one room to another. I have put together the materials, decorative pieces, paint colors, and furniture I would use to bring a clients vision to life. All of these design boards have been created using photoshop.
One of my greatest passions is retail design. It truly combines two of my favorite things: shopping and interior design. As someone who loves to window shop, I am constantly thinking of ways that stores could enhance their interiors to increase profits and improve alignment with the brand and their products. I have redesigned one of my most frequented stores, Madewell, in a way that still feels true to the brand, but elevated.
