I’m an artist at heart who loves structure and practical things — that balance is what makes me good at what I do.

.I studied commercial art and art history in San Francisco and Orange County, renovated 100-year-old Victorians in SF, designed and built a 3-story home in North Carolina, owned two furniture stores where I repaired everything that came in scratched and damaged, renovated a cottage in the South of France on the Côte d'Azur, and helped restore a 1930s Laguna Beach cottage.

While working in a commercial lending regional corporate office in Irvine with one of the country’s largest banks, I had an epiphany — I gave up the suit, put on my painted jeans and a t-shirt, and never looked back.

Today, my workshop is both an art studio and a workspace filled with color, texture, and creativity. That environment is intentional — it’s where design thinking meets hands-on craft, and where repair turns into refinement.

15+ years later, I’m doing exactly what I love — restoring, repairing, and perfecting color matches on wood surfaces, and designing kitchens & baths across Orange County, with an artist’s perspective and a craftsman’s precision.

I’ve worked across a wide range of homes and projects, always with the same goal — to find the right solution for the space, the budget, and the people living in it. Many clients start with something small — a cabinet touch-up, a finish repair, or a color match — and those projects often evolve into full kitchen and bath design consultations and renovations.

Clients come to me when they want to preserve what they have, avoid unnecessary remodels, or correct what was overlooked. If you’re in Orange County and your cabinets or woodwork need a second life, I’d love to connect.

When I’m not in my Orange County studio, you’ll find me with Charlie the dog, finding a fun local adventure, or creating something in the kitchen — usually making a fantastic mess in the process.

Live life creatively.
