I enjoy spending quality time with my husband, son, and our two big, fluffy white dogs. Staying active is a big part of my life; I love yoga, pilates, running, and skiing. When we're in Santa Cruz, you can find me surfing, soaking up the sun on the beach, or driving around the bay, admiring the Eichler homes. I’m also a passionate supporter of my husband and whatever professional soccer team he’s playing for, embracing the chance to experience new cities and cultures with every team he plays for.
I draw inspiration from nature, buildings, interiors, textiles, and furniture. Some of my favorite architectural works include IM Pei’s, NCAR, the iconic Eames House, and the timeless principles of Bauhaus and Mies van der Rohe. I also have a deep appreciation for Eichler designs, which I’m fortunate to experience throughout Northern California.
I’m all about the creative journey—designing, thinking, redesigning, and rethinking! I strive to create work that connects us to our natural environment. I’m grateful for the opportunity to do this every day, from anywhere in the world, while collaborating with my Fuse Family. Let’s design together!
Growing up, I spent much of my time outdoors—ski racing, coaching skiing, and playing soccer. I studied Interior Architecture and Design with a focus in environmental sustainability at Colorado State University and spent a semester traveling and occasionally studying Spatial Design at Massey University in Wellington, New Zealand.
Having grown up in Boulder, Colorado, I’ve always admired the "clay red building" nestled among the Flatirons. I often took school field trips to NCAR, where I remember feeling in awe by the vast forms and asking, “How did they do this?” That curiosity sparked my initial interest in architecture and design.
I began my professional career with an interior design firm in Wellington, New Zealand. In 2017, I moved to San Jose and later to San Francisco, where I worked in commercial interior architecture, designing workplace headquarters in Silicon Valley. While living in the Bay Area, I frequently made day trips to Santa Cruz—the “Boulder” of California—and instantly felt at home. I joined the Fuse team in 2021.
