DREAM PROJECT: To design a full life plan community, a space where people can age in place and one that they can call home.

LAUNCHING POINT INTO INTERIOR DESIGN: Growing up with my dad as a contractor, I was always seeing beautiful spaces that were empty. I spent my childhood imagining what the spaces would look like with furniture and with people living in them.

FAVORITE THING IN MY HOME: A wall of vintage postcards from all the national parks I’ve visited.

BEST CAREER ADVICE I’VE BEEN GIVEN: “Opportunities don’t just happen. You create them.”
