Event that inspired you to be a designer: “My dad was an architect, which was something I admired. But the practical concerns of architecture overwhelmed me, how every detail has a drawing and is considered and has a plan. My parents definitely let me know, though, that design was something I could do. This is the house I grew up in, which my dad designed and built himself over five years. It’s a really funky, late ’70s mountain house but unique in every detail. I especially like the mix of the Western aesthetic with classic design pieces like the Wegner and Magistretti chairs. Very homey, yet still design-y.”
