From Selling to Dwelling - Expert Design for Every Stage

Welcome to Design Essentials PNW—where creativity, precision, and a passion for transforming spaces come together. With over 20 years of experience in home merchandising and interior design, I bring a strategic, personalized approach to every project.

As a Certified Interior Designer and Certified Staging Professional® (CSP®), I offer industry-recognized expertise in preparing properties for market and curating interiors that are both beautiful and functional. My background includes model home merchandising, real estate presentation, and full-scale residential styling. I've had the privilege of partnering with top national builders—including D.R. Horton, Lennar, PulteGroup, Toll Brothers, Taylor Morrison, KB Home, Tri Pointe Homes, Ashton Woods, Shea Homes, and Hovnanian Enterprises—to create spaces that sell and inspire.

At Design Essentials PNW, my mission is to showcase the unique character of each property through design that’s visually impactful, emotionally resonant, and strategically driven. Whether I’m staging a home for sale, selecting finishes for a new build, refreshing a lived-in space, or guiding phased upgrades for legacy properties, I tailor every project to reflect your goals, your story, and your lifestyle.

From interior selections to market-ready transformations, I’m here to help you bring your space to life—with clarity, creativity, and a collaborative approach that delivers lasting results.
