A little about me

I graduated from Oregon State University with a degree in Interior Design, focusing on space planning and interior architecture, and was also a student-athlete. After completing an internship at an interior design firm in Portland, Oregon, I worked as a designer at a design studio in Pullman, Washington. There, I worked with various clients, including several sororities at Washington State University and University of Idaho. I also collaborated closely with builders, doing AutoCAD drafting and interior space planning.

Following my passion for homes, the building process, and design, I obtained my real estate license. Throughout my journey, I've had the opportunity to experience house flipping and even designed and built my own home. This experience gave me firsthand insight into navigating the construction process, the stress, challenges, and excitement that come with designing and building your own home.

For twelve years, I was a stay-at-home mom to my boys. They are my life and the inspiration behind AP Home Design NW. Life took an unexpected turn, offering me the chance to work closely with a luxury home builder. Here, I rediscovered my passion for designing and hand-selecting materials for large-scale homes, paving the way for a new chapter in my life and branching out to start AP Home Design NW.

That vision has since led me to design and coordinate the interiors for over 50 homes, including two in the 2025 NW Natural Street of Dreams with another exciting project underway for the 2026 showcase.

My goal is simple: to create spaces that are beautiful, functional, timeless, and designed around the people who live there.

Why Choose AP Home Design NW?

Building or remodeling a home involves hundreds of decisions. My role is to help simplify that process by providing clear direction, thoughtful guidance, and support from plans to final install.

You Work Directly With Me

From our first meeting to the final walkthrough, you work directly with me throughout the entire project. There are no handoffs, account managers, or multiple layers of communication. I remain personally involved every step of the way.

A Balance of Creativity & Function

Beautiful spaces should also work beautifully. Every recommendation is made with both aesthetics and everyday living in mind, creating homes that are timeless, functional, and thoughtfully designed.

Experience With Real Construction

Design decisions don't happen in a vacuum. Years of collaborating with homeowners, builders, contractors, and vendors have given me a strong understanding of how design choices impact budgets, timelines, construction, and the overall success of a project.

Trusted Industry Relationships

I have built strong relationships with trusted vendors, suppliers, builders, and trades throughout the industry. These connections help streamline the process and provide clients with access to valuable resources and expertise.

Proven Experience

Trusted by homeowners and builders throughout Oregon, my portfolio includes custom homes, large-scale remodels, vacation homes, and Street of Dreams showcase homes. These projects have provided invaluable experience coordinating complex details, managing hundreds of decisions, and maintaining a cohesive vision from concept through completion.

Clear Direction From Plans to Final Install

My role extends beyond selecting finishes. I help guide hundreds of decisions throughout the life of a project, coordinate with your team, solve problems as they arise, and help ensure the final result reflects the original vision.

A Personalized Experience

I intentionally take on a limited number of projects so I can remain responsive, accessible, and actively involved throughout the design and construction process.
