About Me

Ever since I was young I have loved to be creative. Whether it was making clothes for my Barbie or building houses and rollercoasters out of K'Nex I just can't seem to stop myself. Now that the real world has landed on top of me I have found my creative outlet in Interior Design. There is no greater feeling than knowing that something you have created can transport a person to another time and place. Making them forget about the good, bad, or indifferent things that are going on in their life and forcing them to be in the moment. Creating that awe-inspiring second when they walk into your space and are totally consumed by the environment you have set out for them.

Design as a whole is more than a passion for me it is a way of life. I always find it amazing that design is everywhere you look. When we just stop to think about it for a second, we can learn so much from everyday places and objects. It is something I hope I never stop doing.

As Penelope said the other day - Learning is what makes life exciting.
