My work: Realtor & Designer
Most useless skill: Mastering the pillow karate chop
Lover of dogs, travel, food, people, music, & coffee. A year spent backpacking abroad taught me to travel with ease & embrace the moment. As a local realtor with 15 years in graphic & interior design, I’m passionate about creating spaces that reflect the spirit of the area. Though originally from Austin, I now call Indy my home, where I savor the magic of all 4 seasons. I can’t wait to welcome you & share my love for design and hospitality!
