Hello and Welcome!
a little about me (and you):
I am an architectural designer and have worked in both commercial and residential firms. I loved and learned from both, but eventually realized that the reason I went into architecture to begin with, is to turn houses into homes. We are bombarded by the notion of a “forever” home; something that we will save for and aspire to in the future.
But I believe that “forever” is :
In the United States, the average person moves 11 times in their lifetime, and only 8% of us live in our homes for 40+ years. So forget the notion that you need to save for the possibility of forever in your future and let me help you learn to renovate to forever today. Whether you live in an apartment, a starter home, a tiny condo, a large fixer-upper, or in your room in your parent’s home, you can and should have your happy little slice of forever!

What, Where & Why
I am an architectural designer and a real estate investor, but most of all, I am here to simply escort you through your own process of self-actualization and help you bring to fruition the version of “YOU” you most aspire to, in the form of walls and a roof.
Women have historically been shut out of construction related fields, so I created a course ( A Home Worthy of You) that will allow you to gain a deeper understanding of the process, from start to finish, of renovating your space. Giving you the confidence to ensure things get done correctly and that you have had a voice throughout the entire project.
We have been taught to be nice, not speak up, and not take up space. I call bullshit on all of that and am here to work with you to finally stop settling and start demanding your worth!
Where you can find me!
