I have spent my entire life trying to make the things around me more beautiful. Whether it’s a plant on the kitchen counter of a rental house in Oklahoma or a statement chalkboard wall in a kids’ bedroom in Atlanta I have done whatever I could to make each place we’ve lived feel like home.

After staging houses, flipping our first home in 2008, and renting for 10 years, I finally decided to make moving less of a hobby and more of a career. And that’s how I ended up back in Greenville, SC (where my husband and I first met) to develop this city we now call home.

Every space I create has been informed by my abuse recovery and wanting everyone to feel safe in the spaces I create. We host many students and traveling medical professionals and many of their parents are wanting a soft place to land for their kids. I love providing rentals that give each of our guests a place to rest.

I currently live here in the upstate with my husband Steven and my four children, Emma, Shiloh, Keller and Hugh. My favorite things are teaching women about investing, sharing design projects, writing about abuse recovery, and building Doulado.
