The Why Behind Our Design

The Unexpected Reason I Became Passionate About Healthy Interiors

Like many people who love design, I originally fell in love with creating beautiful spaces. The colors, the textures, the feeling a room can evoke—it's what drew me to interior design in the first place.

But a few years ago, our family experienced something that completely changed the way I think about home.

At the time, I was studying interior design and we were in the middle of renovating our house. Between choosing finishes, managing projects, and trying to keep everyday life running smoothly, I started noticing something unusual: my daughter wasn't always hearing me when I spoke to her.

At first, it seemed like one of those things parents second-guess. Was she distracted? Tired? Selectively listening? (Parents know that's always a possibility.)

But it turned out to be something much more serious.

After a lot of investigation, we discovered that the issue was connected to an environmental toxin in our home. Thankfully, once we identified and removed the source, her hearing returned. It was one of the biggest blessings our family has ever experienced.

That experience changed everything for me.

As I learned more about what had happened, I started looking more closely at the materials that surround us every day. Paints. Flooring. Adhesives. Finishes. Furniture. Products I'd previously viewed primarily through the lens of aesthetics suddenly took on an entirely new significance.

With a background in toxicology, I found myself diving deeper into the science behind the materials we bring into our homes. The more I learned, the more I realized that creating a beautiful space and creating a healthy space don't have to be separate goals.

In fact, they can work beautifully together.

Today, my approach to design is rooted in both aesthetics and wellness. I love helping people create homes that are warm, timeless, functional, and deeply personal—but also thoughtful about the materials that make up those spaces.

Because home should be more than beautiful.

It should be a place that supports your well-being, reflects your values, and quietly protects the people you love most.

As I build this business and share more of my work, I'm excited to explore the intersection of healthy materials, intentional design, and creating homes that truly feel good to live in.

I'm so glad you're here.
