Hello!

I’ve been an interior designer for seventeen years and founded my own firm twelve years ago. Prior to this career, I was a massage therapist working on injuries and assisting hospice patients. I loved teaching people about the ways in which they could support and heal their injuries, and how our bodies are beautifully designed to support us if we would just stop, listen, and respond.

When I retired from massage therapy and went into interior design, many were surprised to see me head in a different direction, but I didn’t see it that way. I knew that health and design could be related but wasn't sure how. Twenty-eight years later, that work comes full circle into Wellness Design. I am committed to creating spaces that support our bodies, mind, and soul, as well as help to rejuvenate and restore us. There is a saying – 'If you don't make time for wellness, you will be forced to make time for your illness' and I wholeheartedly believe that a large part of keeping us well exists within our homes.

I live in Mill Creek with my husband, David, two Border Collies, Quinn and Tara, and four cats: Kai, Kismet, Monkey Man and Rosie. There were many that came before them and there will be many that will follow. I love animals and the energy they bring to our lives, each with their own quirky personalities that change over time - like you and I.

What I enjoy most about design is the opportunity to reimagine how a space can be utilized and knowing how our homes can truly support and renew us in ways we haven’t imagined before. I love a good puzzle – and that’s how I see design; reconfiguring spaces to create homes that are more functional, beautiful and supportive.

Quinn

Customer Service

Quinn is a lover not a fighter, enjoys greeting everyone and receiving pats on the back… along with a treat or two.

Tara

Mailroom Manager

Tara is responsible for alerting and accepting all of our deliveries and opens the mail without being asked. She’s a top-notch employee, ready to serve in any capacity.

Kai & Monkey Man

Party Planners

These two boys are inseparable, making sure that the crew & guests have snacks and responsible for letting the Owner know when it’s time to quit, preferably at 4 pm on the dot.

Kismet

Roving Part Timer

Well…this boy is a bit of a slacker but we don’t have the heart to let him go, so he fills in as needed.

Rosie

Night Shift

Yep! We work 24/7 around here and Rosie sleeps hard during the day and comes in late. She roams the property making sure that all doors, cabinets and drawers are inspected and everything is in order.
