PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

After growing up on the east coast, and then living in Southern California for many years, I finally made my way up to the beautiful PNW. Even though my prior careers were in corporate sales/marketing and event planning, I ultimately came back to fulfill my lifelong passion for design by going back to design school at IDI and further earning a Master of Interior Architecture degree from UCLA/Cal Poly. Being a part of ASID throughout my design career (both in Orange County CA and Seattle) has helped me grow tremendously as a designer.  I'm grateful for the treasured friendships and the abundant support that the ASID network has offered me throughout the years, and I look forward to contributing more to the design community. When not designing, I enjoy being outdoors, hiking, mountain biking, skiing, and traveling the world with my amazing husband, 2 kids, and goofy golden retriever, Vanellope Von Schweetz (but we just call her "Ellie" for short).
