I didn’t arrive at interior design through a traditional path, but in hindsight, the signs were always there. I was the kid who rearranged my bedroom every few months, carefully crafting the vibe I wanted. My parents would walk in to what seemed like a bomb went off… followed by a grand reveal. That same joy of transformation still drives me—I’ve always had a knack for instantly seeing a space’s full potential.
I grew up as a dancer, performer, and singer, which instilled in me a deep love for storytelling through movement and space. That same sense of creativity, rhythm, and expression is now at the heart of what I do. I channel that same energy into helping clients across the country transform their spaces, to become the canvas for your lifestyle, energy, and vision.
Before launching my design business, I climbed the corporate ladder with Fortune 500 companies like Johnson & Johnson and Boston Scientific. While I gained invaluable experience, I eventually felt burned out and unfulfilled. It was only after helping friends and family design their homes that I found what truly lit me up—and Crew Collective Design was born.
I reside in San Diego with my husband, his three children, and my 10-pound bundle of joy, Havapoo Stella. During off-work hours, I can be seen teaching barre classes, sipping red wine, or my homemade limoncello during intimate evenings with family and friends.

Meet Stella
Chief Vibe Officer (CVO) 🐾
Serving whoever wants to give me cuddles
Stella is our four-legged design assistant—though “assistant” might be a stretch. She takes far too many nap breaks, contributes very little to floor plan reviews, and has a strong opinion about which blanket is hers. Lazy? Absolutely. Lovable? Totally. We keep her around for the cuddles, the company, and her unwavering commitment to mid-morning naps.
