Growing up in a military family, I moved a lot—Hawaii, Boston, San Francisco, Augusta, Melbourne (Florida, that is). I often felt like an outsider, but that was okay. It afforded me the luxury to watch life and process the world with a unique lens. This experience is part of what makes me the designer I am today.

I graduated with a liberal studies degree with three minors—Studio Art, Criminal Justice, and Humanities. Go figure. I attended the University of Central Florida, one of the largest schools in the nation, but they lacked a design school. I was not dissuaded. I took classes simultaneously at a local design school studying AutoCAD and hand drafting and cut my teeth post-graduation as a design assistant. Next up, the Pratt Institute for a master’s degree in interior architecture and design, where I then worked for Viserius Studio, focusing on hospitality, restaurants, and international work.

Heading south, I landed at C+TC Design Studio. Now, I’m rooting for the Vickers Design team. Inspiration comes from life, nature, and travel. I seek the details with a vigilant eye, questioning how or why something works, taking note of patterns and movement. With clients, we start with their vision, distill a concept, and birth design from that concept. Collaboration reigns, and that’s how I like it.

I love pushing myself toward the discovery of unexpected growth. That’s why I travel, scuba dive, sail, and cook (when time permits). And you’ll rarely find me without Molly, my furry partner-in-crime.
