Design inspiration and organization for the joyful pursuit of your life’s work.
My Work
Design & Planning Expertise
With years of multidisciplinary training and an expansive approach to creative expression, I pull from a broad base of knowledge and expertise to help savvy individuals and organizations create integrated, dynamic & personal design solutions.
A Fully Collaborative Experience
Whether it’s designing your space or planning your event, I am an experienced facilitator of inclusive and welcoming experiences. The product of our work will be the ideal reflection of a fully unique and collaborative effort.
More Than Meets the Eye
I hope to introduce you to the many insights, skills and attributes I can bring to your project. More than a splash of style, this site is a substantive reflection on the purpose of design. Subscribe to my site to get updated when I add new stuff.
The Foundations of My Work
Music, philosophy, social justice, activism, human development, education, organization & project management, counseling, event planning and interior design. The training and experience I have in these areas is foundational to my approach when working with people today.
I can’t imagine doing design in a way that doesn’t draw from all I have learned –and continue to learn. I am grateful for the opportunity to focus on working with people who feel the same way when selecting the right designer for their project or event.
That’s why I call what I do ‘life-work.’ This is not a job and it’s not my whole life either. It’s a joyful expression of purpose I find in using my gifts to help others live a whole and happy life.
I hope I can be an asset to your joyful pursuits.
