FOUNDER + DESIGNER

Some individuals are fortunate to discover their calling early in life, and for me, that pursuit has led me to a career as a High-End Interior Designer. From a young age, I honed my skills in creating and reconfiguring floor plans using my first Lego set. Growing up in the environment of my father’s paint store in Hawaii exposed me to the world of color and remodeling. At 15, I delved into color theory and found excitement in assisting customers visualize the transformation of their homes.

This passion spurred me to pursue formal education in interior design in Maryland. Beginning as a design assistant at Ethan Allen, I quickly advanced to become one of the top interior designers in our region. Venturing into boutique design companies in Baltimore, MD eventually led me to establish my own successful design business. Through this endeavor, I have been able to actively engage with various charitable organizations such as the American Cancer Society, Chesapeake Cancer Alliance, and House of Ruth Woman’s Shelter.

My professional journey has soared to incredible heights, working with esteemed clients from coast to coast and beyond. Over the years, I have cultivated exceptional partnerships with prominent contractors, builders, artisans, real estate professionals, furniture manufacturers, textile and accessory suppliers, and industry leaders—all of whom form an integral part of our esteemed team.
