I’m an interior designer who blends creativity, curiosity, and a love of sustainability. Growing up in Seattle sparked my passion for thrifting and finding pieces with real character—usually with an iced coffee in hand. I’m grounded, approachable, and endlessly inspired by the stories objects can tell. At the end of the day, I believe in kindness, hard work, and enjoying the simple things.

I lead Give & Take Studio with a belief that design should reflect both who you are and how you live. My inspiration is rooted in curiosity, collaboration, and a love of layered, well-collected spaces that feel effortless and inviting.
