Meet the Designer

Spaces where life feels a little more meaningful.

Interior design has always been about more than beautiful rooms for me. It is about creating spaces where families gather, milestones are celebrated, and everyday life feels a little more meaningful.

After years in corporate leadership, I founded Lavender River to combine my passion for design, thoughtful living, and helping others create homes that truly reflect who they are.

My design style blends modern luxury, timeless materials, and intentional details to create spaces that feel elevated, welcoming, and uniquely personal.

Because great design should not only look beautiful — it should improve the way you live every day.
