   I was raised in the art and design world by my gallery owner mother and carpenter father. With art and design in my soul, I successfully helped my mother with gallery curating, picture frame design and merchandising as a young girl in Tahoe City. To pursue higher education I attended college prep school at Robert Luis Stevenson in Pebble Beach. Unknowingly shaping my art career I began taking numerous electives in the art field. After falling in love with fashion design and printmaking, I decided to get a undergraduate degree in Art. In the spring of 2009 I graduated from Southern Oregon University in Ashland, OR. In addition to my degree in Art (emphasis in printmaking and gallery practices)  I fell in love with Native American Studies and acquired a minor in the program . Shortly after finishing school I moved home to open a new family business  alongside my mother. As a team, we visit client’s homes to hang art and installed home furnishings in which began my love of home staging and smaller scale interior design!
