Since joining Taste in 2011, I’ve benefitted from Patti’s mentorship and enormous amounts of on-the-job experience. I knew I wanted to focus on interior design after receiving my Bachelor’s degree from Dickinson College, and I earned my Interior Design Certificate from RISD. As Design Director & Project Manager, my favorite part of what I do is seeing all the designing, planning and obsessing over every detail come to fruition on install day.

Design is such an exciting field to be part of. There are so many incredible minds pumping out great ideas all of the time - concepts that are simultaneously beautiful and well-engineered. For me, efficiency is a top priority in the work I do here.

Being a working mom has taught me that when everything has to get done right now, efficient decision making is a must. It is our job to put our clients’ minds at ease and make their experience the least stressful as possible. The most rewarding part of a project is when clients say, “We couldn’t have done this without you.” That’s when I know we have done our best shepherding them through a long, complicated project.

My husband and I enjoy spending as much time as we can with our kids. We are fortunate to live in a place where we can take advantage of the outdoors or even hop on our boat for a quick trip to the beach.
