I am a design consultant with a passion for creating solutions to better living. For the past decade, I have collaborated on a variety of projects, focusing on spaces, communication and strategy. My approach to all of these projects follow a similar process that involves careful observation of the current issues and latent needs, collaborating with the client and stakeholders, providing transparency in exploration and iteration, and refining to completion. I also design through a lens of positive psychological and environmental impact and believe that solutions should be as beautiful as they are useful.

Influenced by prior experiences, I took lessons from my earlier career chapter in public relations and event planning for consumer and luxury goods in New York. It is there that I honed my abilities for pitching creative ideas and orchestrating a precise attention to detail. Later in a product design role, I co-designed an award-winning, patented financial platform to visualize clients’ investment and savings goals. For the past few years, I moonlighted on a start-up called Skale, designing a community platform for anyone interested in documenting the best in food.

I first dabbled in designing spaces when a client whose communication style guide I created asked me to apply it to their offices, resulting in a separate guidebook to provide to their architecture firm. I’ve always loved working on my own interiors and in the advent of covid, I pursued formal training and more project work in this realm. After selling two houses I renovated, I was hired for interior design work.

I love the challenge of a variety of assignments and mediums, and I am constantly inspired by travel and life experiences. I grew up in New England and spent considerable time in the summers with my family in northern Europe. It was after a formative trip to Stockholm that I applied to design school. I received my BA summa cum laude Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Rhode Island and a Master of Design from Carnegie Mellon University. I have also completed interior design coursework at Rhode Island School of Design.

My client roster includes small businesses, corporate innovation teams, museums, schools, non-profits, social clubs, and private clients. I embrace projects of any scope; all contain special moments worthy of elevation for which our lives are composed.
