As the Principal of Design Essentials PNW, I specialize in transforming homes through expert property merchandising, interior styling, and thoughtful design. I’m proud to be a Certified Staging Professional® (CSP®) and Allied Member of ASID, combining recognized credentials with over two decades of industry experience to bring style, strategy, and results to every project.

At Design Essentials PNW, I focus on high-impact transformations—crafting market-ready properties and timeless interiors for homeowners, builders, and real estate professionals. With a background rooted in both creative vision and practical execution, I approach each space with the goal of maximizing its potential—whether for sale, renovation, or long-term living.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked independently and with some of the most prestigious firms in model home merchandising, earning national awards including MAME, ELAN, Gold Nugget, and Silver Nugget. I’ve partnered with top builders, developers, and architects to deliver standout results in residential, hospitality, and new construction markets.

A highlight of my career was serving as Art Director and Design Stylist for HGTV’s Restored series, where I led the visual and design direction for historic home transformations—balancing architectural integrity with modern functionality. Working hands-on with trades and project teams, I ensured that each design told a story and honored the past while supporting the home’s future.

Beyond design, I have a passion for photography, which sharpens my perspective and fuels my love of light, texture, and form. This creative lens enriches my design work and helps me visualize spaces in unique and dynamic ways.

With a strong foundation in project management, builder collaboration, and interior detailing, I created Design Essentials PNW to offer a full-service experience—from concept to completion. My work is grounded in the proven techniques of CSP® staging and a commitment to personalized, client-focused design. Whether preparing a home for the market or reimagining it for everyday life, my approach is always strategic, aesthetic, and results-driven.

I’m proud to support clients across the Puget Sound region in creating homes that inspire, perform, and sell with success.
