I was born in Taipei, Taiwan, where my dad was stationed, and my first trip back to the U.S. at just 8 months old was on a military cargo plane. I grew up in Dickinson, Texas, a small town between Houston and Galveston, with my sister and five stepbrothers.
I graduated from Texas State University with a degree in Interior Design. I’ve always been drawn to vintage furniture and lighting, spending hours repairing and reupholstering old pieces. That passion eventually led me to a career in design, where i started working with contract furniture dealers and transitioned to architecture and design.
My philosophy is that furniture is the heart of a successful project. It’s the element that brings a space to life, making it functional and meaningful for the people who use it. I love being part of that process.
When I’m not working, I’m gardening, hunting for hotel ghosts, or restoring vintage furniture and lighting.

Did you have a favorite hang out spot in high school or college? What was it, and why did you like it?
5 mile dam in San Marcos. Went every day in the summer with my friends and my dogs and we stayed until it was dark.
