For over 20 years, I’ve designed custom homes across the country, bringing clients’ dream spaces to life. My work has been featured in Architectural Digest, Elle Décor, and Vogue Living. I’ve managed every stage of projects—from feasibility studies to construction documents—ensuring beauty and function meet.nce.

But in 2015, my life changed forever.

I lived through the Aliso Canyon gas blowout—the largest toxic gas disaster in U.S. history. My community fell ill, and a couple years later I was diagnosed with cancer. With no clear answers from doctors, I set out to uncover the hidden links between toxic chemicals, building materials, and human health. Through community action, research, and integrative healing, I not only recovered without pharmaceuticals—I gained insights that most architects, contractors, and even doctors don’t know.

That journey inspired me to found Happiluxe Design. I believe true luxury is health and happiness—because without health, there is no joy. My method is built on four pillars: mindset, eliminating toxins, building resilience, and avoiding harmful materials. With this framework, I help homeowners, families, and communities design spaces that heal instead of harm.

Today, I still live in the same community affected by the blowout—proof that recovery and resilience are possible. My mission is to bridge health and design so future generations can thrive in homes that truly support well-being.
