My path to interior design began far from the desert. I grew up in Illinois, then moved to Colorado, drawn by the mountains and my lifelong love of snow skiing. It was there that my design career began, shaped by an appreciation for architecture, natural materials, craftsmanship, and the opportunity to work with clients from across the country who wanted homes in ski resort communities. Each client brought their own personal style, regional influences, and way of living, and I learned how to blend those perspectives into a cohesive
mountain style that felt authentic to the setting, yet deeply personal to them.

Over the years, my work has included hospitality, restaurants, offices, and a wide range of residential interiors, but my true passion has always been custom homes. I love the collaboration that happens when a homeowner is deeply invested in creating something exceptional – and welcomes the guidance of a designer who understands materials, function, and the thousands of details that must come together to create a home that is both beautiful and deeply livable.

My life outside of design is equally important to the way I see the world. I am married, and my son and daughter-in-law, who met at West Point, now live in North Carolina. At home, we share our life with our rescue dog, Maggie. Spending time in nature has always been one of my greatest sources of renewal and inspiration – whether in the mountains, the desert, or simply outdoors observing light, texture, color, and the quiet details that often find their way into my design work.
