As the owner and operator of Design Essentials PNW, I am dedicated to transforming homes through distinguished home staging, styling, and interior design. My studio specializes in contemporary transformations, turning properties into breathtaking showcases. As an accredited Interior Designer, I am passionate about creating beautiful spaces that exceed my clients' expectations.

My career includes working independently and with the model home merchandising industry's most prestigious design firms, where I have earned numerous national merchandising awards such as MAME, ELAN, Gold Nugget, and Silver Nugget. I have successfully collaborated with home builders, homeowners, developers, and architects, providing services to the homebuilding, residential, and hospitality marketplaces.

One of the most distinctive aspects of my career was serving as the Art Director and Design Stylist for HGTV’s Restored series. In this role, I ensured that every home restoration was visually stunning, on-brand, and engaging for viewers. Collaborating closely with the team, we reimagined and redesigned historical homes, blending their original charm with modern functionality. My responsibilities included working hands-on with tradespeople to bring each vision to life with meticulous execution, resulting in breathtaking transformations. This experience showcased my ability to manage and oversee comprehensive restoration projects while honoring each home's unique architectural heritage.

In addition to my professional work, I also dabble in photography. This hobby has greatly influenced how I visualize the world, providing me with a unique perspective that I bring into every design project. Through the lens of my camera, I capture the interplay of light, color, and texture, which inspires me to create aesthetically pleasing and evocative spaces.

My extensive experience in design and merchandising has equipped me with the skills to craft innovative designs that push boundaries, manage projects from inception to completion with precision, and contribute creatively as Art Director and design stylist for HGTV’s Restored series. This wealth of experience has deepened my understanding of the industry and sharpened my ability to deliver exceptional results. Over the years, I have developed a comprehensive understanding of the design process, strengthened my leadership skills, and honed my keen eye for detail. This has empowered me to support and partner with my clients on every detail through every phase, ensuring exceptional results in every project.

Inspired by this rich background, I founded my business with the goal of combining my expertise with Certified Staging Professional® (CSP) - proven staging techniques and cost-effective practices. This approach ensures each property is marketed smartly and effectively. My staging work produces rapid sales results in the Puget Sound region, helping Realtors and homeowners set sales records in asking prices and days on market. My Interior Design services are designed to help you achieve your vision by creating comfortable, functional, and beautiful spaces you can be proud of and will love living in for years to come.
