I believe a home should do more than look beautiful — it should support the way you live, think, gather, and grow. The spaces we inhabit quietly shape our routines, our relationships, and the way we move through everyday life. To me, good design is alignment: between beauty and function, your surroundings and your needs, and the home you live in and the life you’re building within it.

I founded Soulspace Collective as a residential interior design studio rooted in that belief. Based in Sarasota and working throughout Florida’s Gulf Coast, I specialize in renovations, new construction, and highly considered residential interiors that feel bold yet grounded, refined yet deeply personal.

My approach lives at the intersection of interior design and construction. My work is informed by firsthand experience managing residential construction — coordinating drawings, selections, field conditions, trades, and the countless small decisions that determine whether a design actually works once it reaches the jobsite. I look beyond finishes and furnishings to consider how a home comes together from the beginning: space planning, proportion, cabinetry, lighting, materials, constructability, and the relationship between what is drawn and what ultimately gets built. That experience has taught me that some of the smallest decisions made during construction become the ones you feel most once you live there.

That perspective shapes the way I approach every project. Materials are chosen for how they will look, feel, and age. Layouts are considered around movement and daily routines. Sightlines, storage, lighting, scale, and the relationship between rooms are studied as part of a larger whole. The goal isn’t simply to create a beautiful interior. It’s to create a home that feels intuitive to live in — where nothing feels accidental, even when the finished result feels effortless.

Becoming a mother deepened that understanding of home even further. I see firsthand how our spaces have to stretch and soften around real life — the movement, the mess, the gathering, the quiet, the milestones. I think about sightlines from the kitchen to the living room, storage that reduces friction, materials that can withstand living, and spaces that make connection easier. It reinforced something I already believed: thoughtful residential design isn't about creating a perfect home. It’s about creating one that supports the people inside it.

At Soulspace Collective, I’m not interested in designing around a formula or chasing a singular aesthetic. I’m interested in understanding you — how you live now, what isn’t working, what you’re drawn to, and what you want this next version of home to make possible.

Whether I’m reimagining an existing home through renovation or working alongside a builder and architect on new construction, every decision comes back to the same question: does this bring the home into greater alignment with the way you want to live?

Because when your environment feels aligned, everything else begins to move a little differently.
