About Me
After spending over 15 years in accounting, primarily within the credit union industry, I decided in 2018 to follow my passion for interior design. I earned my Interior Architecture certification from UCLA Extension and quickly began my design career at Aria Design in Laguna Beach CA, where I gained hands-on experience in creating high-end residential interiors. This opportunity allowed me to master essential design skills and develop a deep appreciation for crafting spaces that are both beautiful and functional.
Feng shui has always been at the heart of my design philosophy. I believe that a well-designed and harmonious space can transform a home, enhancing energy flow and bringing balance into daily life.
Today, I combine my love of design, technical expertise, and feng shui knowledge to help clients create environments that not only reflect their unique style but also promote a sense of peace and well-being. Let's work together to design a space that inspires and uplifts you every day.
