I love all things home.
I believe that where you live is vitally important to your happiness. So helping people buy, sell and renovate homes is incredibly gratifying for me. Each client has different goals when it comes to the biggest investment of their lives. Everyone wants to live in a beautiful space. But some are more focused on making it work for their family’s needs TODAY, while others are predominantly concerned with maximizing profit when it comes time to sell. With that in mind, I approach each project with those unique goals at the forefront, and then collaborate to create a successful outcome.
I grew up in Lake Oswego, graduated from University of Washington, then moved to Los Angeles. I spent the next twenty years there, and fell in love with both Interior Design and Real Estate. After honing my skills at Otis School of Design, I started my first firm, Orange Drive Design. In 2015, my husband, Joel, and I moved our family back to my hometown, where we have been working (and playing) ever since. We love to personally invest in residential real estate (both renovation projects and rental properties), but our main focus is helping other people design, build and remodel homes through his company, West Homes, LLC. We collaborate on most projects, but also work separately, depending on the needs of the client.
