Samantha is an Allied Member of the American Society for Interior Designers (ASID), a LEED Accredited Professional, and a member of the National Kitchen and Bath Association. For the 2018-2019 term, Samantha was appointed by her peers to serve as the ASID Pasadena Chapter President.

The best part of my job is the people I have the opportunity to work with and at the end of the day, those relationships are what matter most. Regardless of whether I’m working in a grand estate or a charming bungalow, I look forward to bringing my passion to every job and uncovering how I can transform a house into a personalized home.
I also believe that good design can positively impact our everyday lives. Creating a relaxing retreat for a hardworking professional, a kitchen that promotes enjoying more family time, or renovating a home that makes aging-in-place more feasible as couples get older are all examples of how good design can support our values and goals. Being able to help my clients achieve the lifestyle they seek brings fulfillment to the work I do.
What do you value: Positivity, hard work, family, beauty, and giving back.
What do you want clients to know: I genuinely care about each client’s unique style and perspective and allow that to shine through in my design work. I’m here to listen and help you achieve the home you’ve been waiting for.
What sets you apart: I love what I do and I’m grateful for each day that I get to do it. I strive to use my skills and knowledge to help people. I hope to alleviate the stress in what can oftentimes be an overwhelming process and give my client’s the peace of mind to confidently move forward.
What are your favorite things: Traveling the globe with my husband Marco, family time in Cambria, sharing a good bottle of wine with friends, and volunteering in my community.
