My Story
My passion for interior design began in middle school, and by high school, I focused my art classes in the field—creating floor plans and physical models of rooms. After moving from Houston, Texas to San Francisco, California, I attended the Academy of Art University, where I earned my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Interior Architecture & Design.
Upon graduation, I interned at Applegate Tran Interiors, while also working as an Assistant Lighting Designer at Lightswitch. Within three months, I was promoted to Junior Designer at Applegate Tran. In 2009, I transitioned to a full-time role at Lightswitch and worked there for five years.
Next, I joined HSH Interiors as an Assistant Designer, where I was quickly promoted to Associate Designer within six months. I spent the next seven years at HSH, working on high-end residential projects across California. I was the lead interior designer and AutoCAD drafter on more than 20 luxury residences, and we garnered significant press coverage, which is listed below. Additionally, I managed the company’s retail store, overseeing vendors, inventory, and sales. We won "Best of Houzz" five years in a row (2015–2019).
In 2019, my family and I moved to Minnesota to be closer to relatives after the birth of our child. I took a position as Senior Designer at Heather Peterson Design, where I led design for over 15 high-end residences across the U.S., including in Connecticut, California, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Illinois. Our work was also featured in various press outlets, listed below.
At the end of 2024, I decided to take the leap and start my own firm. I am excited about this new chapter and the opportunities it brings. If you're interested in seeing my portfolio from my time at HSH Interiors and Heather Peterson Design, feel free to reach out. My mood boards are also a great way to explore my current design inspirations. I look forward to hearing from you!
