Tell us more about your job or company and what led you to your career.
I believe our homes are sacred places that can be leveraged to support us in all of life’s endeavors — both inside and outside the home. By using color, organization, and furnishings strategically, I help my clients come to life through their homes.
My goal is to create order so they can focus on what matters most — connection and memory-making. By incorporating organizational systems, I also promote independence and a sense of ease.
I love repurposing heirloom and vintage finds from places like Facebook Marketplace — it preserves budgets and adds depth to every design.
Hello Pearl Interiors was born from the beautiful memories I have of my Granny, whose nurturing spirit and love for her home continue to inspire me every day.
What would your clients say about you and your company?
My clients would say that I offer a fresh perspective on interior design and make beautiful spaces accessible to everyone. They’ve told me it’s inspiring to watch me work — and one even said I “style shelves with grace.”
What is your favorite book?
Educated by Tara Westover
What is your secret weapon?
Google Calendar or Calendly — it keeps everything perfectly synced and organized.
What is your most recent win?
Securing a substantial project for my neighbors across the street — their first time hiring an interior designer! They loved watching our home renovation and decided to trust me with theirs. It’s a win-win — short commute and all.
What advice would you give to your younger self?
Trust your intuition.
How do you enjoy your free time?
With my family or in the bathtub.
What is something that not many people know about you?
I once lived in a tiny house — just 260 square feet — with my two young kids. It’s now in our backyard!
