There are three responses to design – yes, no, and wow! Wow is one I aim for.

With 16 years of experience, my journey began after graduating from an Interior Design program in Toronto. Relocating to Los Angeles marked the beginning of my career with a focus on commercial, custom residential, and retail projects. Seeking to enhance my skills, I pursued project management training at the University of Toronto, a decision that has proven instrumental in effectively overseeing projects of varying scales.

Ever since I was a young child I was fascinated by architecture and design. At seven, I sketched a butterfly-inspired concept for our backyard landscaping.

My portfolio includes a wide range of project experience, including commercial, education, mixed-use, residential, and healthcare. My work has given me a deep understanding of different sectors and client needs, along with the associated design challenges and opportunities.

I’m passionate about the impact of design on people’s lives and the environment. I aim to create meaningful projects that enhance people’s lives. My focus is on interior design and business development, and I’ve led large-scale projects from concept to occupancy. I work closely with clients to meet their needs while creating intelligent, sustainable, and beautiful spaces.

I believe in transparency and trust as the foundation of successful projects, and I see sustainability as an opportunity for innovation. I strive to strike the right balance between efficiency and aesthetics.
