Welcome!
Hi and thank you for visiting! The first thing you should know about me is . . .
I’m just like you…
or close enough
I am a woman, a mother, an entrepreneur, an immigrant, and, most of all, a confident self. With quirks, passions, doubts, drives, challenges,
and an absolute want to
live a fulfilled life
I’ve spent over two decades building an interior design practice—and now I’m building something more. On this site, I share the frameworks I’ve developed to support creative entrepreneurs like you: The Independent Practice, focused on building a resilient, values-based business, and Selftropy, a wellbeing method that helps you use time, space, and language to feel better every day. Everything here comes from lived experience, research, and a real desire to help others design both their work and their lives—on their own terms.
