A home should be more than a space, it should be a curated sanctuary that honors your journey and lifestyle.
ABOUT ME
As an Interior Designer at Vela Casa Studio and Realtor® with Coldwell Banker in Metro Detroit, I help homeowners navigate the complexities of remodeling and decorating to create soulful, intentional spaces. With over a decade of experience in home transformation, I specialize in uncovering the hidden potential within a floor plan and bringing it to life with a practiced, artistic eye.
My design philosophy was forged during two decades in the global fashion industry, designing for iconic brands like Levi’s, The North Face, and Marmot. That era taught me more than just technical precision, it taught me the transformative power of texture, silhouette, and style. Today, I translate that expertise into interiors, whether I’m perfecting a kitchen’s flow, selecting colors for a historic home's color palette, or crafting a restful primary suite.
As a licensed Michigan Realtor®, I can offer a unique advantage. I don’t just help you find a house, I help you visualize its ultimate beauty while ensuring every design choice builds lasting market value. I have a particular passion for historic architecture reimagined soulfully for modern living.
Let’s create a space that doesn’t just look beautiful, let’s create a space that truly feels like home.
I am here to guide you though the art of creating beautiful and functional spaces while making smart investments.
MY WORK
As the founder and principal designer of Vela Casa Studio, I don't just see floor plans, I see the potential for a more beautiful, effortless life. My approach to design is deeply personal. I believe a home should be a physical manifestation of who you are and a sanctuary for how you aspire to live.
I specialize in the invisible art of space planning, ensuring that the flow of a room is as intentional as the finishes selected. From the initial conceptualization to the final installation, I will act as your dedicated advocate, managing the complex logistics of remodeling so you can focus on the joy of transformation. I don’t just design interiors, I help you curate home so it is a true reflection of you.
A Dual Perspective on the Michigan Market:
Realtor® with Coldwell Banker &
Curator at Michigan Maison
Beyond the studio, my work as a Realtor® with Coldwell Banker allows me to guide clients through one of the most significant transitions of their lives. I don’t just look at listings, I look at bones, history, and potential.
My passion for our local landscape led me to create Michigan Maison, a digital gallery where I showcase the some of most beautiful homes across the state, with a particular focus on Detroit’s iconic historic architecture. I use this platform to celebrate the craftsmanship of the past while helping modern buyers find their place within it.
Whether you are searching for a storied estate or looking to sell a unique property, I provide a sophisticated marketing approach that honors the home’s heritage and maximizes its value.
LOCATION
I am based in Warren and Grosse Pointe, Michigan, and love working with neighbors across Metro Detroit. Not local? Not a problem. I’m available for remote projects and global consultations, bringing intentional design to your doorstep, wherever in the world that may be.
