I am a hospitality interior designer and construction manager based in Scottsdale, Arizona, and founder of Solstizio Studios. Since 2021 I have led design and construction for resort-style vacation estates across the U.S., managing teams up to 40+ professionals and coordinating FF&E, interior and exterior design, and resort amenities such as pools, spas, fitness centers, and outdoor studios. I travel nationwide to bring concepts to life from initial site visits to full staging and photography, and I pride myself on delivering high-end, on-time results under tight deadlines. With a BA from Kent State University and a hospitality interior design certification from Parsons, I blend design excellence with construction knowledge to guide multi-disciplinary teams and ensure builds meet both aesthetic and technical standards. I’ve designed over seven 5-star resort estate properties, including a Poway, California vacation home that was featured on The Bucket List Family YouTube and Blog, and my resort-style projects have been showcased by media outlets.
