Twenty years ago, I nearly failed architecture school.

Not because I wasn’t capable, but because there was very little room to express a unique voice. I learned how to meet expectations, follow rules, and stay safely inside the lines.

I passed, but the lesson stuck.

After graduation, I did what many architects do. I took the traditional route. A corporate job, a clear path to licensure, and a version of success that looked right on paper. And yet, deep down, I knew I wanted something different. I wanted to build a practice on my own terms.

Today, I lead a heart-centered residential architecture practice that thrives almost entirely on word-of-mouth referrals. I am consistently booked six months in advance, collaborating with talented builders, vendors, and designers to create homes that truly reflect the people who live in them.

What lights me up most is the team. Seeing how each skill set comes together to make a homeowner’s vision real, and knowing the design process feels clearer, calmer, and more human because of it.

I also know this. Running a design business, or navigating a custom home build, can feel overwhelming. It is full of second-guessing, missteps, and those quiet moments of, “Ugh, what am I even doing?”

If you're dreaming of starting a design business of your own, or you're a homeowner trying to make sense of the residential design process, I want to support you.

I want to show you how to create homes that position you as the go-to professional. The person who makes the process easier for clients, builders, and the entire team.

Because design is not just what I do.
It's my love language.
