How I play…What I do when I am not at work… I love spending quality time with my friends and family, especially outdoors. Whether it's cooking with my mom, going for a walk, going out to dinner with friends, or relaxing at the lake.

Why I do what I do…  I love solving problems and putting the puzzle pieces together. It’s incredibly rewarding to find solutions that make our clients’ lives easier. I’ve always had a creative side, and being able to use that creativity to design beautiful, functional, and unique spaces is not only fulfilling, it’s also so much fun! 

My favorite thing about Spokane is…that it's a big city that still feels like a small town. It has all the amenities you'd get from a big city (great restaurants, shopping, and plenty to do downtown), but what makes it even better is how close we are to lakes, mountains, and nature in every direction. The sense of community here is strong, and that’s something I really value.

I cannot live without… My family (including my dog) and my friends. The people in my life make me so happy, I don't know what I'd do without them. 

My favorite part about working at DS Studio is… the amazing team. Everyone here is so hardworking and passionate about what we do, which is inspiring to me, especially as a new designer. I truly love coming to work every day.
