​My love for design blossomed early in life. As an only child, I expressed my creativity by rearranging furniture, painting walls, choosing trendy wallpapers (yes, small floral prints were all the rage), and adorning Barbie's middle-elevator condo countless times. This passion for transforming spaces naturally evolved into adulthood, where each move to a new home presented a fresh opportunity to redesign my living space—of which there were many!
​
My journey took a significant turn when I returned to Ohio from North Carolina and faced the challenge of selling a home with minimal equity in a tough market. During the process of preparing and staging that house, my passion for home staging truly solidified.
​
Drawing from my diverse experiences and a desire to assist others, I founded my first staging company, Refreshed Spaces, in 2007. My mission was clear: to help homeowners navigate the challenging process of preparing their homes for the market. This process often involved addressing necessary updates and upgrades while building relationships with top-tier contractors and suppliers who shared my commitment to design excellence.
​
As the years passed, my journey led me to establish ReadyHome Columbus, where I refined a proven multi-phase process to empower sellers and real estate professionals by maximizing equity returns and minimizing days on the market. While interior design has always been integral to our work, the onset of COVID propelled it into the spotlight. With many clients now working from home, I embraced a "lifestyle approach" to home transformation, integrating personal shopping, organization solutions, e-design, and renovation into my service offerings.
I offer a unique advantage over most interior designers by always considering future moves during the transformation process and gravitating toward classic and timeless aesthetics.
