What made you decide to pursue an Interior Design career? 

Ever since high school I wanted to be an interior designer.  I was always good in art class but also enjoyed math so I figured interior design would be a good mix of my favorite subjects.  And luckily for me it worked out and I was able to get my Bachelor’s Degree from UW-Madison in Design and have now been an interior designer for 8 years. 

What type of design are you passionate about? 

Residential design is my focus.  I work for a residential builder so I am involved in all aspects of the design build process for a custom built home.  I help clients from start to finish to select every finish in their home, whether that be on the exterior or the interior.  I love being able to work in multiple areas of design, from cabinets, to flooring, to lighting etc. 

What do you love about design?

I love being able create a unique design for each and every client.  No one home is alike so it keeps my job fun and exciting.  Each project has it’s own character and I get to be apart of making the clients vision come to life.     

How has being a member of ASID helped you in your career?

ASID is a good networking tool and is also a great way to show you as a designer are involved in the profession which in turn is a great credential to have.      

What do you like to do in your spare time?

I enjoy spending time with my husband and two kids Oliver (4) and Hazel (1).  I also enjoy working out at a Crossfit gym and competing in local Crossfit competitions.
