Welcome to The Art of Elevated Living

Dear Readers,

Happy Spring! 🌷

Welcome to “The Art of Elevated Living” Blog.

My intent is to share with you upcoming projects I am working on or photographing, inspirations that I hope will excite you, and tips along the way!

I am so grateful to know so many multi-hyphenate (a favorite term I adopted from the oh-so-talented Athena Calderone), talented people that I can’t wait to share them all with you. And I know there are so many more of you I can’t wait to meet!

So, if you're up for the journey, I would love for you to join me for what’s to come. 

In the meantime, I would like to introduce (or reintroduce!) myself to you!

As an Oregonian, I've always been inspired by nature and its perfect design. And, while I've lived in Santa Barbara, San Francisco, and Hawaii, the Portland Metro area has constantly called me home. From my childhood house in Lake Oswego to my current residence on the banks of the Columbia River (with my ever-so-optimistic husband, fun-loving dog, and glorious, scrumptious cat), I've seen this region grow and mature so much. I love this area, and I love helping people truly elevate their homes here.

My design aesthetic is inspired by the many places I've lived in, traveled through, and explored. The relaxed coastal vibes of California, the gorgeous terracotta tones of Mexico, the antique hardscapes of Vienna, and the lush forests of the Pacific Northwest all influence me when I work on a space.

Nearly 25 years ago, I first began training as a photographer. I became enchanted with design and aesthetics, and their power to shape our impression of life in a space. Over eight years ago, I launched my design services. Now I am bringing all of this experience to my career as a real estate broker, and all of these tools that I've developed are available to serve you.

Thanks for taking the time to get to know me a little more. I hope to get to know you more as well.
