After several years working in corporate interior design and stepping away to raise my children, I returned to the studio with renewed clarity and purpose. Today, my work reflects both my artistic foundation and my design training — a deep sensitivity to color, scale, and the way a piece lives within a space. When I’m not in the studio, you can find me with my family, cooking, or reading a well-loved library book.

I was scared and didn’t know if I could even get pregnant since I had two separate diagnoses affecting my body. But then a miracle happened,...
