From Design to Leadership: My Journey in the Interior Design Industry

For the past ten years, I have had the privilege of designing beautiful homes and helping clients create spaces that reflect their lifestyles and aspirations. Interior design has always been more than just aesthetics to me—it’s about function, emotion, and the way a well-designed space can enhance daily life. My experience in many facets of the industry has reinforced my belief that design is about how a space makes you feel, not just how it looks.—it’s about function, emotion, and the way a well-designed space can enhance daily life. My journey has evolved over the years, leading me to not only create stunning interiors but also support other designers in building successful, streamlined businesses.

When I first started in the industry, my focus was mainly on aesthetic improvements. In starting my own firm, this shifted towards crafting interiors that balanced form and function. With time, I developed a deep appreciation for the operational side of design—what happens behind the scenes to bring a vision to life. From project management to team building and optimizing business processes, I found myself drawn to the mechanics of running a design firm efficiently and providing the best possible client experience along the way.

This realization led to the launch of Grounded Homes, a brand that embodies my philosophy of creating interiors that feel rooted, balanced, and thoughtfully designed. where I continue to create thoughtful interiors while also offering consulting services tailored to designers. The name ‘Grounded Homes’ was born from my belief that a home should feel both deeply rooted and effortlessly functional. The word ‘grounded’ speaks to a sense of stability, connection to nature, and balance—principles I strive to bring into every design. Additionally, there’s a nod to the foundational elements of building, much like grounding in electrical work, ensuring that every space I create is not only beautiful but also thoughtfully constructed for longevity and harmony.

Reflecting on my journey, I am incredibly grateful for the opportunities I’ve had to grow, adapt, and share my expertise with both clients and fellow designers. My passion for interior design remains as strong as ever, and I am excited to continue expanding my impact—both through creating beautiful homes and empowering designers to elevate their businesses.

If you're a homeowner seeking a refined, functional space, I’d love to connect. Let’s collaborate to create a home that reflects your style and enhances your daily life. Together, we can design a space that feels as beautiful as it is meaningful.
