"The most inspiring moment of being an interior designer is seeing a completed design that reflects functionality and personal aesthetics while fulfilling my clients' needs. The reward is simply seeing the glow/warmth of joy upon their faces."
Client Testimonial
"I had a very specific idea of the aesthetics, and they were fully responsive to it and understood what I liked. They didn't try to convince me of things I would not like; they understood my taste was not for everyone. They came up with something very lovely and functional. I have a very specific aesthetic and Hope Hassell and Melissa Cooley were very responsive, respectful, and encouraging of my design, which made my dream kitchen come to life."
Experience
I have been a part of the Case Design/Remodeling team since 2012. I am grateful I have the ability to work closely with clients from all levels of aesthetic values while combining their needs with my experience, allowing them to create their ideal space. I also enjoy finding that common ground with my clients, so I can meet their needs while staying within their budget and staying true to their style.
Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with my family and close friends, cooking and working on small various creative projects.
