OUR STORY
CO-FOUNDER + DESIGNER
Hello! I’m the proud wife + mother to 3 young kids. I’ve entered the interior design space after 12 years of self-employment in the dental sales field.
My interest for design sparked in 2013 after the birth of my eldest, when I created a successful, locally made children’s apparel company. Once we became home owners, that passion transferred to interiors. I’ve found my niche in transitional design, creating comfort and sophistication in everyday spaces. I truly believe that you can live functionally alongside living beautifully and that is what I strive to create for those I’m lucky to work with.
Thank you so much for stopping by!

CREDENTIALS
CO-FOUNDER + DESIGNER
Hi there. I have the great honour of being both a wife and mama. I am a businesswoman by trade and visionary at heart.
I spent over 15 years with lululemon, navigating the retail landscape, building brand awareness across the USA, and leading high functioning teams. There, I found my passion for all things design: visual merchandising + store design, curating spaces for large scale events, performance-based apparel, and alas, creating beauty and comfort in my own home.
This journey led me to design school and, ultimately, crafting a career that makes me come alive. Here at STORY, I get to problem solve through design, understand what matters most to people and why, and help them love their spaces. I live for textures, mixed materials, and bringing both style and feel to function. Building a trusted partnership with our clients with room to create, play, and try new things inspires me. I’m excited to create stories for your spaces.
Thank you so much for stopping by!
