In Practice
This portfolio presents a curated selection of projects I have led at my current firm, ranging from a five-bedroom residence to compact short-term studio spaces. Each design is distinctive, wellness-centered, and thoughtfully considered to meet both aesthetic and functional needs. Projects highlight a holistic approach to living environments, integrating natural light, materiality, acoustic comfort, and biophilic elements to enhance occupant well-being. Planning prioritizes efficient circulation, flexible use of space, and long-term durability while respecting site context and client lifestyle.

about me
I’m an interior designer with a background in hospitality, spatial planning, and operational design. My work is centered around creating thoughtful, experience-driven spaces that balance aesthetics, functionality, and scalability.
After completing my Master’s in Interior Architecture at Suffolk University, I worked in boutique residential design before moving into the fast-paced world of short-term hospitality. I now oversee design and expansion initiatives for a growing portfolio of furnished rental properties across Boston, managing everything from concept development and procurement to installation, vendor coordination, and operational systems.
I’m drawn to projects that require both creative vision and strategic problem-solving - where design has the power to improve not only how a space looks, but how it functions and feels for the people using it.
