I design soulful, elevated interiors that feel like home and hold space for who you’re becoming. My work blends relaxed elegance with warm, earthy textures and intentional flow — designed to restore, inspire, and align with your life.

Outside the studio, I’m a mama, salsa dancer, and dedicated gym girl training for figure competitions — and every bit of that rhythm shapes how I show up in service to you.

Between perfecting my bachata moves in the dance studio or my kitchen and unleashing creativity alongside my family, my days are woven with the threads of passion and purpose. My husband, my children—they're the heartbeat behind my every design, driving me to infuse spaces with soul and warmth. As an enthusiast of the culinary arts, my mornings might find me experimenting with a new bread recipe, rolling cinnamon dough into spirals of comfort, or savoring those fleeting moments of enjoying my coffee while it still whispers steam. It's this blend of artistry and intimacy that shapes my mission: collaborating with high-achieving professionals like you to nurture and craft homes that aren't just lived in, but truly loved.
