My drive to design began at home. Raised by a mother who could make a shoe box live like a penthouse, I learned early to appreciate the value of crafting a home filled with intricate handwork, beautiful woodworks, and regional charm.

In college, I discovered an innate draw to textiles and embraced the opportunity to study in China. Back in the US, my nomadic nature moved me through residency in many states until I found roots in Chicago. The flourishing food scene allowed me to fuse my love of design with my love of decadent pastry and espresso.

I began small with boutique amenity locations and gradually expanded the business into a consultancy focused on private and corporate café and retail designs. My design education is forged by experience and exploration.
