Designing with nature—inside and out.
I’m drawn to the quiet intelligence of living systems—how land, plants, and people adapt, find balance, and respond to their environments. My work is rooted in listening carefully and designing with what’s already present.
A Point of View
I believe the environments we move through each day—our homes, our landscapes, our routines—quietly shape how we feel and who we become. When these environments are designed with care, they can offer steadiness, nourishment, and a sense of belonging.
Nature has always been my greatest teacher. Living systems don’t rush toward outcomes; they respond to conditions. They grow through relationship, adaptation, and time. I approach design the same way—by paying attention, working with what’s present, and creating space for balance to emerge naturally.
Whether designing a garden or supporting someone through a period of change, my perspective remains the same: meaningful design isn’t about control or perfection, but about alignment. It’s about creating conditions—inside and out—that support life as it unfolds.
My Story
I grew up in Indiana, surrounded by open land and slow-moving seasons. Early on, I was attuned to the quiet rhythms of nature—the way landscapes shift gradually, how living things adapt over time, and how space can hold a sense of steadiness. That early connection stayed with me, even as my path continued to unfold.
More than a decade ago, I followed a pull west to the Pacific Northwest, drawn by a desire to work more closely with plants, landscapes, and the environments people inhabit every day. I began working in landscape design and site-based projects, learning firsthand how thoughtfully designed spaces can influence how we feel, live, and relate to our surroundings.
As my work with land deepened, so did my curiosity about the inner landscapes people carry. I studied herbalism, movement, and contemplative practices, learning from clinical herbalists, embodied traditions, and spiritual teachers who emphasized the living relationship between body, environment, and inner life. Through my training in Kundalini Yoga, I experienced how breath, movement, and awareness can restore rhythm and steadiness—particularly during periods of change.
Over time, it became clear that these threads were not separate pursuits, but expressions of the same practice. Designing spaces and designing life both require listening, patience, and respect for natural timing. They ask us to work with what’s present, rather than forcing outcomes.
Today, my work lives at this intersection—supporting people as they shape both the spaces they inhabit and the lives they’re living, with care, intention, and trust in the process.
I work slowly and attentively, with respect for timing, complexity, and the realities of daily life. Whether we’re designing a space or supporting personal rhythms, the work begins by listening—without rushing toward solutions.
My approach is collaborative rather than prescriptive. I don’t arrive with a fixed agenda or one-size-fits-all answers. Instead, I work alongside you, responding to what’s present and allowing clarity to emerge through conversation, observation, and care.
I value patience, honesty, and mutual trust. Some projects unfold quickly; others take shape over time. In all cases, the goal is not perfection, but alignment—creating conditions that feel supportive, grounded, and sustainable.
This work honors nuance and individuality. It makes room for change, integration, and growth, meeting you where you are and respecting the pace that feels right.
How I Work
An Invitation
At the heart of this work is a belief in care—care for land, for the spaces we inhabit, and for the lives we’re living. I believe meaningful change happens slowly, through attention, trust, and a willingness to listen to what’s already present.
If this perspective resonates, you’re welcome to reach out. There’s no pressure to have everything figured out—only an invitation to begin where you are.
