How would you describe your personal design style? My personal design style is organic modern. I love the sleek and clean feel of a modern design but also appreciate the warmth of natural components. Combining organic accents, neutral hues, and natural textures with modern shapes brings warmth to a modern design. What inspires you? Connecting with nature gives me inspiration. I am able to recharge, refocus, and be mindful. In order to be surrounded by and find inspiration, I think it’s very important to get outside and enjoy a run, a walk, or just simply a cup of coffee in the park. For me, inspiration is my motivation. What was your most challenging design project? I designed a bathroom for a family with a child newly diagnosed with MS. As devastating as it was for them, they knew they had to make life-changing decisions and the remodel was a priority.

Each bath required the perfect faucets—it was challenging but also very exciting to try to find the perfect piece. What is your favorite thing about being a designer? Every day is different. You never know what type of design style you are going to be working with until you meet with your clients. Being able to be versatile in styles to adapt to your client’s taste is very important.
