How did you get started in design?
I grew up in a small rural community in Northern California that didn’t have architects or interior designers. But as a child, I used to draw floorplans and sections in crayon and markers and create whole neighborhoods of imaginary homes. So, I have to believe that design was just a part of me from the beginning. After getting my interior design degree in college, I spent the first part of my career working in commercial design for architecture and interiors firms in San Francisco. My projects included several university libraries, corporate offices and biotech labs. Later in my career, after designing and building my own family’s custom home, I chose to launch my own firm focusing on residential design and I’ve never looked back!
