I recently wrapped up a deeply meaningful project in Mossy Rock, Washington—one that holds a permanent place in my heart for several reasons.

Nature’s been designing for billions of years. I’ve just been take notes. Here's how I’m bring biomimicry into the heart of interior design.

I’ll start by saying that I love systems and processes. I once took the Kolbe Assessment, which measure’s a person’s innate problem-solving skills and my highest score was in “Follow Thru” (aka how you arrange and design systems or structure…organized and adaptable). I love a spreadsheet, a chart, or a graph (as long as it’s well designed and thought through, ha). This is why, for me as a designer, it is imperative to have a clear understanding of the design process and an order to the operation. This is how it goes…

A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to sit down with Rick Campos of Design Biz Survival Guide to talk about my experience as a student of design at Heritage School of Interior Design in Portland, OR. With a diverse background and this being my “second” career (I use quotations because I’ve done so many other random things between!), I share a bit about how my background in fashion and marketing is setting me up for success.

A piece of what my nerdy color-coated brain is picking up in early 2025 as it relates to color combinations and trends in interior design.
