Facebook\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\nHow did you get started in the design\/build industry?<\/em>I grew up in it, as my mother is a designer and my father a developer. I studied at the Art Institute of Colorado and then moved to San Diego landing a great job at a design build company. I worked there for 10 years before starting my own company in 2012.<\/p>\nWhat is your favorite project in Arizona? <\/em>I am blessed with the opportunity to work on some commercial and residential project. For commercial I loved design for the Autism Academy in Tucson and for residential this whole house remodel in a fun neighborhood called Colonial Solana, one of Tucson\u2019s Historic Residential Districts.<\/p>\nWhat inspires you and your work?<\/em>At heart I am a problem solver.\u00a0 I love getting to know my clients and learn what problems they have with their space and how we can make it work better for them. I love innovative design solutions and coming up with things that break conventions.\u00a0 Sometimes this includes classic and timeless pieces and others we\u2019re going pretty far out there with materials and uses. Either way, it has to be a solution for the client and really function well.\u00a0 We\u2019re changing the way people live and use their spaces.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/25141706\/Arise-Interiors-Kitchen-0043-80x59.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
What is something timeless every home should have? <\/em>Great natural lighting and cloth napkins. Art is really important too.\u00a0 It does not have to be expensive but it does have to be unique and well done.<\/p>\nWhat is considered trendy in homes at this time?\u00a0<\/em> Being at home.\u00a0 All. the. time.\u00a0 But really over the last year I saw and used a lot of black.\u00a0 window frames, cabinets, you name it.\u00a0 I don\u2019t think that would have flown in 2018 for example.\u00a0 I think all of this this is going to get shaken up by \u201cshelter in place\u201d restrictions. We are all looking at our homes differently now and really assessing how well it works for you.\u00a0 Comfort and functionality are going to be really important considerations for people.<\/p>\nWhat do you consider your biggest professional accomplishment?\u00a0<\/em>Truthfully it is having been able to balance a career with raising a family and not having monumental sacrifices to either. There are a few awards I am pretty proud of, particularly ASID awards which are judged by peers. To me that is evidence of a good balance. Happy, health kids and designs that get recognized. I\u2019m delighted by it.<\/p>\nWhat advice do you have for young people or students hoping to pursue a design\/build career? <\/em>Do what you love but don\u2019t short cut the time needed to learn how to design the details. Always remember to consider what is happening beyond the four wall that you are designing within.<\/p>\nWhat are you working on now?\u00a0<\/em> I am working on half a dozen projects right now including a new modern salon in Tucson and a contemporary hacienda master suite.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Let us introduce you to the Valley\u2019s top design and build professionals.
