DESIGN ASSOCIATE

My dad built the house I grew up in and was constantly building additions. Being surrounded by his work and my mom’s design magazines planted the seed from a young age, and I knew I wanted to be an interior designer. Working at a local design showroom in high school gave me a glimpse into the industry, and I fell in love. 

Between graduating with my bachelor’s in Interior Design and returning to school for my master’s in Communication and Business Leadership, I interned for a designer in Delaware and later worked at a tile showroom. Witnessing the design process from many stages inspired me to take on design from a more full-service position, and soon I joined KMID! Here, I’m responsible for communicating our design details and client decisions to the build team via drawing stills, which convey our vision and intent.

There is nothing quite like seeing the process unfold and watching the details fill a space to bring it to life!

FUN FACTS

MADE IN VERMONT

I grew up in Vermont and go home as often as possible to visit my little morkie, Chester, and blue-nose pitbull, Smokey.

NEW ENGLAND OR BUST

I lived in North Carolina for six years but missed New England, so I moved back!

SWEET TREATS

In my free time, I’m either exploring local towns and shops with friends or curled up reading or watching a movie with my roommates—usually eating coffee ice cream.
