To me, EWP is… a group of talented individuals, each bringing their unique skills to work together as a team. We specialize in workplace design and partner with our clients to develop distinctive solutions that meet our clients’ needs functionally, aesthetically, and economically.

How I came to architecture and design… I found a unique path to interior design. My education began with a degree in civil engineering, where I gained strong analytical and problem-solving skills. After obtaining my degree, I started my career in construction management. All the while, my creative interests thrived. I spent many years and much of my free time as a fine artist, creating and exhibiting oil paintings. Later in my career, I decided to combine my passion for design and the arts with my strengths in problem-solving and went back to school to pursue a masters degree in interior design.

My role at EWP… As Lead Interior Designer, I play an influential role in all aspects of the design process. I bring a creative approach to problem solving through design. Working with clients from preliminary programming and visioning through to the final design, documentation and construction administration.

Outside of EWP… Living in Chicago, you will often find me exploring the great art, culture and cuisine that this fabulous city has to offer. When at home, I am often working on my next painting, gardening or relaxing with my husband and two cats.
