My design journey ignited as a young girl in El Paso, Texas. I couldn't afford the Barbie Dream House back then, so I improvised, crafting intricate furnishings from found items like branches and twigs. This experience sparked my love for decor and showed me how nature can inspire design.

​

After pursuing an alternative education path in California and gaining diverse experience in visual merchandising, space design, and even the film industry, I later moved to Coeur d'Alene, Idaho; while living there, I was captivated by the serenity of the outdoors. Nature's beauty reignited my design passion all over again.

​

As an interior designer now based in Arizona, I bring my nature-inspired perspective to not only Idaho but to Arizona and California. With certifications in Interior Decorating, Staging, Design To Rent, and Virtual Design, my business, Leaf And Lake Design, aims to create stunning interiors that evoke the beauty of nature. Like that young girl using twigs for headboards, I'm here to inspire and craft spaces where design and nature come together to make a home.
