As a creative thinker, I am interested in opportunities that intersect design sensibility, ecology, and functionality.

As an Interior Designer, my professional journey started in Calgary, where I obtained a Bachelor of Interior Design from Mount Royal University. Starting with intern positions, I gradually transitioned into significant roles within the interior design industry.

Upon relocating to Vancouver, I assumed the position of a Workplace Lead, eventually progressing to a leadership role as a Principal. Throughout this journey, I enriched my expertise and knowledge, actively mentoring fellow designers. My commitment to delivering thoughtful and impeccably executed designs is evident in my contributions to various projects. My extensive portfolio includes collaborations with a diverse range of large clients, spanning industries such as workplace, retail, hospitality, and wellness, among others.

Notably, I accepted a prestigious role of being the first Design Director in Western Canada. In this capacity, I was entrusted with guiding major projects to transform spaces into award-winning environments.

In my spare time I enjoy wandering The Vancouver Art Gallery, walking in Stanley Park and playing on the beach with my French Bulldog, Stella.
