Unreasonable. Not practical. Not safe. Not “that’s good enough.”

Unreasonable passion.

For the way light pours into your kitchen at 4pm. For the way your sofa feels at the end of a long day. For the dining table that holds sunday dinners and hard conversations and belly laughs.

I don’t believe in designing homes that are just fine.
I believe in spaces that make you feel something.
That tell your story. That hold your memories.
Because this life? It moves fast. Our babies grow up. Seasons change. Chapters close.

So yes... I’m going to care deeply about the tile.
About the trim detail. About the way the space flows.
Not because it’s “just design.” But because it’s where your life unfolds.

Eight years ago I started my design business when Derrick was unemployed. It was a leap of faith to help support our family. I had no idea where it would lead.

Then we chose to build this business together. Exciting… and terrifying. Running a design + renovation company side by side stretches you (as entrepreneurs and as husband and wife).

We started over AGAIN and moved across the country to Tennessee!

It hasn’t been easy. There have been dark days… stress, uncertainty, moments that felt lonely.

But there have also been incredible highs — clients who trust us, a team that amazes me, opportunities I never could have planned for.

And recently, as I looked back through my camera roll, I realized something…

It’s not just the big milestones that built this life.

It’s the quiet moments. The moments you don’t realize are building the life you once only dreamt of. 🤍

Little by little, the life I once dreamed about… is becoming my reality. ✨

If you’re scared to start over… believe me when I say, I totally get it.

Just do it. (Maybe it’s all those years working at Nike that has rubbed off on me)
But seriously, show up each day for the life you want.

I’m here if you want to chat, just send me a DM. xx

This testimonial from a recent Designer for a Day session is exactly why I do this work.

To hear a client say they felt truly heard means everything to me. Beautiful spaces matter — but if a home doesn’t reflect how someone actually lives, who they are, and what they value... then we’ve missed the point.

Every project begins with listening. Understanding rhythms, routines, priorities. Designing from there.

It’s such a privilege to collaborate with clients who value intentional design, thoughtful planning, and homes that feel deeply personal.

If you’re ready for a space that feels like you, DM us to inquire + learn more about Designer for a Day!

Pink paint doesn’t have to feel girly! And if that sentence alone makes you nervous... keep reading.

In honor of Valentine’s Day, I pulled together a roundup of my favorite pink paint colors.

Some l’ve loved for years, and a few I’m seriously considering for a room at our #SixthStreetBungalow... any guesses?

The truth about pink paint? It’s all about undertone. When done right, pink can feel grounded, warm, and feminine... but with an edge. Not sweet, not juvenile, not bubblegum.

Look for dusty, muted, brown, or beige-leaning pinks that read almost neutral on the wall. Avoid anything too bright or overly saturated (those are the ones that scream “little girl’s room” fast).

Save this for the next time you’re flirting with pink paint—so you can order the right samples and fall in love with the result!

Renovation diaries:
I haven’t really touched this room yet... aside from moving furniture around and mentally claiming it as my office. I started painting it today and now I’m wondering why I waited so long.

French Gray by @farrowandball has that quiet, old-world softness I keep coming back to. It doesn’t feel trendy or precious... just really livable.

When you work from home, the way a room feels matters more than you think. Still a long way to go (lighting, furniture, layers) but this felt like the right first step.
Save this if you’re thinking about green and want something that is timeless.

Tip- I actually color matched the color for this room- but I do recommend splurging on the real deal when it’s going in a space that will get a lot of wear and tear - like a kitchen, dining room, kids space, etc.
