As an entrepreneur with a deep-rooted passion for real estate design and development, I have transitioned from a successful career in online advertising and digital technology to explore the dynamic world of property development. My journey began shortly after college, where I founded my first company and have since continued to venture into various business realms. My current focus lies in real estate, particularly in crafting single and multi-family properties that stand out for their modern design and functional living spaces.

In my real estate endeavors, I aim to construct spaces that go beyond mere physical structures. My goal is to create environments that evoke a sense of belonging and comfort, making each property a true reflection of its inhabitants' lifestyles. This process involves a meticulous approach to design, where every detail and material choice is thoughtfully considered to ensure our developments are not just buildings, but spaces that enhance everyday living.

Away from work, my love for the outdoors greatly influences my professional vision. Activities like skiing, hiking, and biking are not just hobbies, but a source of balance and inspiration. They remind me of the importance of integrating natural elements into my designs, fostering a seamless harmony between our built environments and the natural world. This approach is central to my philosophy of creating spaces that are not just visually appealing but also functional and in tune with their surroundings.

When I think about architecture, I have the feeling of nostalgia. These feelings are developed from the images of my life history and desires. I vividly remember the way morning sunlight entered through the glass door of my childhood home. I remember the warmth it gave as it washed the wood floors where I was sitting.

The depth of emotion that is supported by our surrounding environment is endless and malleable. My approach to architecture is to search for that intimate connection between space and the human being, which is meaningful in enhancing the emotional quality of our daily life.

My work in architecture has been developed through a perpetual interaction with the minutia of its creation. From the initial conception of a space, to the materiality that binds it, to its physical construction, I continue to seek the nuances of architecture that link to the emotions of its inhabitants.

Discovering my passion for interior design happened organically as I embarked on designing our own homes with my husband, Jeremy. This journey not only deepened my appreciation for architecture and real estate but also unveiled my innate talent for creating spaces that resonate with elegance, comfort, and personal style. Transforming our living spaces into reflections of our journey together has been one of my most fulfilling experiences.

At California State University, Chico, I cultivated a diverse set of skills and perspectives that have greatly enriched my approach to interior design. My philosophy in design centers around creating spaces that are not just visually appealing but are true extensions of the inhabitants' personalities and lifestyles. Each project I undertake is a unique canvas, blending functionality with aesthetic appeal, resulting in living spaces that are both luxurious and inviting.

Now, as the Head Interior Designer at JB Western Design and Development, I take pride in bringing my vision and expertise to a wider audience. My approach involves a meticulous selection of materials, textures, and colors, ensuring that every interior space I design is sophisticated, yet warm and welcoming. My goal is to create environments that not only complement the architectural integrity of our buildings but also enhance the everyday living experiences of those who dwell within. Every project is a journey, and in each, I strive to leave a mark of beauty and functionality.
