About Me
I have loved architecture and design since I was in high school. When I was young, it always fascinated me to go to friend's houses and see different floor plans and decorating styles. As I grew older, I never lost that passion and excitement. A few months out of college and into my first architectural job at a commercial Architecture firm, I convinced them to buy rendering software and led my firm in providing our clients with valuable marketing images. As I grew into a project manager, my organizational skills and drive helped me as I worked on complex projects.
A few years ago, my husband and I had our 1st son. I decided to pursue working from work from home and eventually started my own business so that I could spend more time with our little boy. We have since had a 2nd son and I feel I have the best of both worlds right now (working from home in a career I fully enjoy, and soaking up time with my family) and am excited for what the future might hold.
Education and Certifications
I attended College at North Dakota State University in Fargo, North Dakota where I earned a Bachelor of Science - Environmental Design Degree and a Master of Architecture Degree. In 2014, I passed all applicable tests and became a Licensed Architect in the State of Colorado.

Why Me
I LOVE designing. In addition to my design skills and attention to detail, I provide you the ability to see the finished project before material procurement and construction begins. This is a valuable tool that can help prevent costly revisions during construction. My passion and excitement about creating beautiful, functional spaces will be apparent when you work with me.
