After receiving my BS in Interior Design from SDSU, I developed my design philosophy through hands-on experience working alongside contractors and managing residential and retail projects across many aspects of construction. These experiences taught me the importance of balance — creating spaces that are both highly functional and beautifully considered.
My work is also shaped by an international perspective, influenced by the diverse places, cultures and design traditions I have encountered throughout my career. As an SBID Accredited Designer, I am part of an internationally recognized professional community committed to high standards, continued learning and best practice in interior design.
I believe every project should have its own identity, purpose and meaning. I begin by listening — understanding my clients’ needs, wants, likes and dislikes — and then bring those ideas together into a cohesive design that feels personal and appropriate to its surroundings.
Living and working in Hawaiʻi has further shaped my approach, giving me a deep appreciation for the unique character of the islands and the way people live here. My goal is to create spaces that feel effortless, beautiful and balanced, while reflecting the people who call them home. I look forward to learning about your priorities and creating something beautiful for you.
Balanced life
Balance is our design philosophy as well as our life philosophy. It is our essential element. I view interiors through the same balanced lens with results that meet your priorities. Balanced home & interior design is one part of overall life balance. What balance is important to you? We can help you answer that through careful, considered selection to create your beautiful home on Maui.
