Working in the home building industry, I realized the most fulfilling part of my job was creating show homes for various builders. As I contemplated my entrepreneurial direction, a career coach's support led me to home staging. With a background in performing arts and stage performance, this seemed like a great fit. As part of the business, I also assist with interior selections, helping clients create beautiful and functional home interiors.
Travelling and experiencing interior design around the world have significantly impacted my journey. Recent trips to Paris, London, Amsterdam, and the Mediterranean fueled my passion for bringing old-world charm and generational ambiance to my work.
Creating serenity and an oasis is my passion. I love seeing people happy with their new spaces, providing them a respite from daily challenges for peace and mental health. A recent trip to Greece inspired me to create a show home for Lighthouse Custom Homes with a beach and casual vibe. The positive feedback from visitors filled me with pride for the work my staging team and I had accomplished.
I hope to leave a legacy of sanctuary and security for my clients. A home is a significant investment, and I strive to enhance its value through thoughtful design. My goal is to be known for creating safe, efficient, and enjoyable spaces while maintaining a sense of fun and adventure in my work. Through honesty and dedication, I aim to build lasting, beautiful environments that positively impact my clients' lives.
