From the time I was born in Asheville, North Carolina, I have been obsessed with nature. My earliest memories were spending time in the forest or at the Virginia shore. I have always been fascinated by the patterns, textures, luminosity, and rhythms of nature. Nature is life giving, energizing, and regenerative; the source of my passions for growth, function, and transformation. While other children were playing with dolls or cars, I was either doing art or reimagining living spaces for family and friends. Observative, detail oriented, and highly creative, I often see possibilities where others see problems.
I started designing professionally in 2002 and I knew I had found my life's purpose. When I moved to Norfolk and started with B and T Kitchens and Baths in 2023, I knew I had found my lifelong tribe, dedicated to excellence and integrity.
I absolutely love creating designs that will positively transform spaces and the lives lived in them. As I create, I imagine the new memories that will be made in each room. Kitchens: where nutritious food is prepared with love and laughter fill the air. Bathrooms: filled with the sound of children giggling in bubble baths or an adult escaping into a spa inspired refuge of relaxation and tranquility. A mudroom that is re-envisioned goes beyond a utilitarian pass through to an entryway that greets you cheerfully, where organization helps keep the rest of the home clean and tidy. A well thought out home office fuels maximum productivity and creative flow.
While I have designed and managed hundreds of successful remodel and new construction projects, my favorite is the one right in front of me. Building relationships and collaborating with clients to see their goals and dreams realized is where I thrive. If a client wants to sell in a few years or create their forever home, I can make it happen.
Exceeding my client's expectations is not only my goal, but my legacy.
