It's so great to meet you, and I'm glad you're here! You might be transitioning from one home to the next, or you may be wanting to make some upgrades to the home you're in, which might be as simple as deciding where your art should hang or as complex as a renovation project. All those things are things I can help you accomplish.
Over the last 10 years I've worked in residential design, renovation, and real estate in several different forms. I was first introduced to renovation projects and high-end furnishings by working in a design firm. While I've continued to expand that knowledge, the countless hours at a desk and selling $10,000 sofas just wasn't doing it for my farm girl roots. I had the chance to move closer to family and dive into our own whole-home renovation. We lived in the home throughout the process, so I totally understand my clients when they're in the depths of the renovation process. Sometimes you find yourself washing dishes by hand in the bathtub.
Watching the value of our renovation house change peaked my interest in real estate and brushed the dust off my old business and marketing degrees. To combine my interests, I reached out to the best home stager in the city, and three years later, we had staged over 250 luxury homes together.
I've loved each chapter, but it was through the hands-on experience of the home renovation where I started to discover exactly who I was. The more work I did by myself, the higher the return on the investment. One project at a time, I found myself standing in front of the finished project saying "Gosh dang it, I did that!" Now, I seek out the DIY projects and am here to encourage you to do the same. Trust me, you are totally capable of way more than you think!
All these experiences have culminated what I do with my time today. I've learned that design isn't reserved for just the rich; it doesn't have to be expensive. A little design planning can go a long way in how a project turns out, and our favorite spaces can be both functional and beautiful at the same time. So, let's get started on yours!
