It all goes back to a log cabin tucked behind 12 acres in Evergreen, Colorado. There wasn’t a project in its renovation we didn’t do ourselves. We built-in bookshelves, tiled, demolished, and even set the jacuzzi tub in the master bath, jackhammering a driveway curb in the dead of winter and creating a levy system to get the granite in the kitchen. It was everything from the plumbing to the polyurethane – the work of my dad’s life and the start to mine.

I remember when asked what I wanted to be when I grew up and consistently responding as an interior designer or event planner. I'd sit in my room for hours alone, whether it was a scrapbook, photo album or picking out barbie's outfits and arranging her dream home.

Since our time in Evergreen, I graduated from school with a finance degree and established a successful career, all while expressing myself creatively at home. I found myself helping friends and family with everything from decorating to project management, organizing, planning the details of their major life events and even stepping in as the florist.

Helping share their stories through the design of their home or event has become my greatest joy, and the reason Ellwood has come to be. Whether you’re here for my services or stories, I'm so happy you're here! This is....
