Over the last 20 years, my husband Bob and I have enjoyed taking a home that no one else wants and transforming it into something special. We see the potential in these homes that others have overlooked and can envision the finished product: a beautiful and functional home.

After 12 successful remodeling projects, we found our forever home and jumped in headfirst. However, our dream kitchen renovation quickly became a nightmare when we encountered a series of unreliable contractors who left our project in disarray. We were left to handle the entire project ourselves, from tearing down walls and installing cabinets to laying flooring and connecting appliances. While it was an overwhelming and stressful experience, it also ignited a passion within me for kitchen design.

As we meticulously pieced together our kitchen, I connected with my deep fascination with the transformative power of design. Through this process, I gained valuable insights into the intricate details that make a kitchen truly functional and aesthetically pleasing.

The experience of managing our renovations has taught me the importance of clear communication, meticulous planning, and attention to detail. I’ve learned to navigate the complexities of construction, appreciate the craftsmanship of quality materials, and understand the impact of design choices on the overall functionality and ambiance of a space.

My journey from frustrated homeowner to professional kitchen designer has been a testament to the power of turning challenges into opportunities. I am now driven by a passion for helping others create their dream kitchens, ensuring that their renovation experience is not only stress-free but also a source of inspiration and satisfaction.

Every kitchen holds the potential to be a unique expression of the homeowner’s personality and lifestyle. I am committed to collaborating with clients to understand their needs, preferences, and aspirations and translating them into a kitchen design that is both visually stunning and functionally impeccable.

My path to becoming a kitchen designer may have been unconventional, but it has instilled in me a profound appreciation for the art and science of kitchen design. I am excited to embark on this new chapter, fueled by my passion for creating spaces that are not just places to cook but also spaces to gather, connect, and cherish the moments of life.
