Welcome to Elevated by Design, where we help you bring your home — or your short-term rental — to life with calm, curated guidance rooted in purposeful simplicity.
Whether you’re:
– Building a home from out of town and need a local partner you can trust,
– Launching your first Airbnb and want it to feel five-star ready,
– Or you’ve just purchased a home and want help decorating and making it feel like your own
—I’m here to walk alongside you every step of the way.
From finish selections and styling boards to sourcing essentials and setting up guest-ready spaces, I offer hands-on support based on real experience — including the design, build, and hosting of our own 5-star lake house at Smith Mountain Lake, Virginia.
For over 20 years, I’ve helped friends and family transform their homes — rearranging furniture to improve flow, sketching kitchen islands during renovations, and curating cozy, clean, livable spaces. Through that process, I’ve seen what a difference thoughtful, simplified design can make — not just in how a space looks, but how it feels.
Because sometimes the most elevated spaces aren’t the most elaborate — they’re the ones where every choice has a purpose.Let’s create something elevated — by design.
