Interior Design is my Passion
I’ve dreamed of being an interior designer since I was a child. Every home I work on is a new puzzle, balancing function, aesthetics, and quality materials. I earned my bachelor’s degree from Purdue University and, before joining Atlas, specialized in kitchen and bath design. I’ve been with Atlas since 2022 and love helping homeowners make thoughtful selections that turn their house into a home that feels intentional, timeless, and truly theirs.
