AMy passion stems from my lifelong love of architecture, color, nature and travel. My unique sense of design began when I was a child going back and forth from my mother's home in Southern California and my father's home in the deep South. I found inspiration from both coasts and the history that stems from each. I started reading books, magazines and watching design shows at a very young age. I fell in love with the ability to create a mood that resonates with individuals, incorporating who they are, and how they want their business to be seen.
The fascination with various designs has been essential regarding my style. The appeal of Art Deco, Contemporary, Farmhouse, Mid-Century Modern, and Industrial gives me the spark to create the spaces clients desire in ways that surpasses their imagination. Offering numerous mediums like hand drawings, digital work, and inspiration concepts to convey an idea; gives the client the advantage to truly understanding the creative vision.
The joy has always been the process of tying in different elements to suit the client and presenting the final construction in a way that surpasses the expectation. I work closely with my clients to understand their needs, mixing their mental picture with decor styles that embrace the “vibe” they want to project while imbuing practical ideas to create an impact within the space.

Atlanta Falcons Office
Project
The Falcons wanted to make improvements to their facility at Flowery Branch, Georgia by expanding and renovating their current women’s locker rooms. Including the adjacent toilet and shower rooms to accommodate the larger roster totaling at approximately 630 SF. By keeping a modern aesthetic in mind, it was also important to add subtle hints of the Atlanta Falcons characteristics throughout the space. Per the request of the client a sophisticated textural atmosphere was created to bring a sense of warmth and calm to the space.

Project
The conceptual design approach was be derived from brand propositions such as simplicity and functionality, eco-friendly, community, fluidic sculpture, and a unified identity in vehicle and spatial design. An additional aspiration was to creatively place the facilities within its regional context, specifically referencing Savannah’s original planning concept of a ‘grid-with-centered-squares’ fostering flexible functionality, human-scale mobility, and egalitarian community. The landscaping design was based on sustainable, eco-friendly integration with the coastal plain’s ecosystem.
