I began in construction, working side by side with builders, learning the process from the ground up. That foundation shaped me: it taught me discipline, patience, and the kind of precision that lives in the smallest details.


What sets my work apart is my eye for materials. Textures, tones, and finishes are my language — I see how they ground a space, inspire emotion, and elevate the everyday. I’m known for pairing materials in ways that feel both timeless and unexpected, creating homes that are as refined as they are personal. Every client is a world of their own, and I take the time to understand their rhythms, their lifestyle, and their story, so the spaces I design don’t just look beautiful — they feel like them.


Some of my greatest joy comes from collaboration.

I love walking the site with trades, refining details together, problem-solving in real time, and watching a vision transform into something tangible. The hum of tools, the energy of a team fully committed — that’s where the magic of design happens. Over the years, I’ve guided projects through every stage — from architectural coordination and renderings to material selection and final styling — and what never changes is the reward: seeing my clients’ happiness when their home or business is complete.


Casa Edit is the truest reflection of who I am and what I love — a studio built on collaboration, passion, and a genuine respect for this industry. Every project, whether residential or commercial, is approached with care, intention, and the belief that luxury is found in the details that make a space feel entirely, unmistakably yours.

For me, design isn’t just about how a space looks — it’s about how it feels to live in it every single day. Over the past decade, I’ve worked on more than 70 homes across the Charlotte area, from thoughtfully planned affordable housing to custom, high-end residences. I’ve partnered with both developers and private clients, guiding projects from empty land to the final, perfectly placed throw pillow.


Some of my favorite moments are walking a jobsite in the early morning light, running my hands over a just-installed countertop, or standing with a subcontractor, discussing an idea in the dust to make sure every detail is right. Building strong relationships with the people who bring our designs to life — the framers, tile setters, painters, cabinet fabricators, and more — means we’re all working toward the same vision, and it shows in the finished home.

I love the challenge of taking a client’s dream, no matter how big or small, and turning it into something they can touch, feel, and live in. Whether I’m selecting stone slabs that will make an epic statement or refining the smallest trim detail, I believe it’s the thoughtful choices that make a space unforgettable.


At Casa Edit Studio, every project is deeply personal — it’s about creating homes where style and function live in harmony, and where every room feels like it was made just for you.
