After a year and a half – IT HAPPENED. This is what I’d been working towards and waiting for; I landed a job as a commercial interior designer for a company in Grand Rapids. The first project I’d be working on? Designing the private suites at the Whitecaps Ballpark. You want to know how long it took me to realize it wasn’t the right job for me, and I didn’t want to be a commercial interior designer? Less than one hour.

New construction is such a thrilling process where each day is different, and I truly love and appreciate each step. I love the day drywall gets hung. I love when trim work starts going in. I love when tile gets grouted and when I finally get to see my designs come to life. I'm also the least patient designer that ever lived because I just want it built NOW, and get so excited for it to be done!
It’s that time again! Parade of Homes time!
