about…

I founded nook design collective following an almost two decade long career in residential interior design. Design has always been my driving force: I was the kid who was constantly rearranging the furniture in our home and re-designing my bedroom. Luckily, I had a mother who was willing to spend her weekends helping me cover my bedroom walls with crackle paint and hang blowup, glow-in-the-dark stars from the ceiling....the 90's were a wild time! I grew up in Phoenix and was surrounded by mid-century architecture and I’ve been inspired by the timeless style and simplicity ever since.

I've climbed the corporate ladder at home building and interior finish companies but was never satisfied from a creative perspective. In order to scratch that creative itch, I always had a project on the side, or was renovating my personal homes. As I continued to advance into corporate roles in my career, I felt more and more disconnected from what I love most: design. After the birth of my son, I decided that it was time to spend my time following my passion, so I started nook.

I have an impeccable eye for detail and am sure to notice if something needs to shift ever so slightly to be just right, because the difference between good and great design comes down to the smallest details. I am hardworking, dedicated, and passionate about all things design. I am always up for a design challenge and love when the puzzle pieces come together. There is no greater feeling than seeing your vision become a reality, making a space more beautiful and functional.

Shortly after starting nook, I was ready to grow the collective. My first team mate was an obvious choice - I brought on my trusted cohort and dear friend, Emily Vicarel. Emily and I have worked side by side since 2015. She is an especially talented designer who brings her amazing skills and brevity to every project we embark upon together. I am incredibly lucky to have her on the team as our Lead Designer. 

Whether you're building a new home, doing a full home renovation, remodeling your kitchen or bathroom, or need a whole home or room of furniture, we would be honored to partner with you to help your project come to life!

We look forward to working with you!
