Design has always been a part of my life. I once thought I’d be a fashion designer, but after eight years as a stay-at-home mom, I wanted a new challenge. I went back to school for Interior Design at UTSA, and from my first studio class, I knew I was where I was meant to be.
My favorite part of this field is that every project brings something new. Design can be chaotic, colorful, and full of problem-solving, but that’s what makes it exciting. There’s never a dull moment, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Most of my free time is spent cheering on my kids in their activities (which, let’s be real, has basically become my hobby too). But when I get the chance, I love trying new restaurants or experimenting in the kitchen. I’m a foodie at heart—always on the hunt for the next great meal!
If you could spend a day in someone else’s shoes, whose would they be and why?
It would be my special needs son’s. Gaining firsthand experience of his daily challenges, understanding how his mind works, and facing the hardships he encounters would provide invaluable insights. This would enable me to be a more effective and supportive parent and advocate.
