About

I’m drawn to spaces and objects that feel grounded, calm, and peaceful. I notice how things relate to one another, how a room unfolds as you move through it, and whether something feels right. I’m less interested in trends and more interested in creating places that feel peaceful.

My work spans interiors, products, and art. I work intuitively and collaboratively, preferring an open, thoughtful process rather than disappearing and returning with a final “ta-da.” I enjoy working alongside people, seeing how they live, work, and play, listening, adjusting, and arriving at decisions together in a way that is natural.

I tend to see spaces and objects clearly in my head, which makes it easier to understand what belongs, what doesn’t, and where something feels out of place. That instinct helps guide decisions of all sizes, from choosing a single piece to shaping an entire environment. When the right elements come together, the result feels peaceful and balanced.

My approach is practical and shaped by experience, guided by intuition and a desire to create warm, functional, and peaceful environments.

I’m a designer and problem-solver with a background spanning interior design, product design, and invention.

I was the founder and original inventor of GRAYL, a globally used water-purification system designed for hikers, travelers, and humanitarian use. I led the company for seven years, guiding the product from concept to market and scaling it into a trusted, real-world solution.

Today, that same design approach shapes my work with homes, businesses, spaces, art and products. I help people make clear, confident decisions, balancing function, beauty, and long-term livability so their spaces feel calm, intentional, and beautiful.
