I founded Forge Interior Design after returning to Minnesota to be closer to family, following a decade in Colorado. My time there shaped both my lifestyle and perspective, balancing a love for the outdoors with a growing career in design.
My background in interior design began in Minneapolis, where I earned my degree and entered the industry through kitchen design. From there, I continued building design experience in Denver, working across both residential remodeling and new builds, where I developed a strong understanding of the full construction process.
Over time, my role evolved to include leading the design direction for high-end custom homes at a design-build firm, and guiding creative branding on spec homes. These experiences shaped the foundation of Forge—bringing together thoughtful design, technical knowledge, and a focus on creating spaces that foster well-being.
My Approach
By blending creativity, livability, and authenticity, I craft spaces that truly support how you live. I begin by listening—understanding your routines, priorities, and the feelings you want your home to evoke. From there I translate those insights into thoughtful solutions that balance beauty with function: layered textures, purposeful storage, and circulation that feels effortless.
Clear Direction
Collaborative and pragmatic, I guide decision-making with clear options and real-world tradeoffs, respecting budget and timelines. The result is interiors that foster well-being: inviting, adaptable places that welcome daily life and evolve with you.
Uniquely You
I prioritize materials and layouts that stand up to everyday life while expressing personality—so rooms look intentional without feeling staged.
