I’ve been practicing model home merchandising for the last 34 years and my passions for good design and the home building industry are stronger than ever. I believe in supporting NAHB and local associations for the advocacy they provide for our industry. I am blessed to have a fabulous team of designers and staff who make it all happen and understand that exemplary customer service trumps everything else. Add to that an “oh so dreamy husband” and life couldn’t be better!

As long as I can remember, if I wasn’t outside playing a sport, I was inside drawing. I have always gravitated toward art and have found the perfect fit with interior design. In 2003, I received my BA in interior design from Southwest Texas University. I began my career in 2004 with MDDG as a design assistant and quickly climbed the ladder to senior designer. After a few title changes and 10+ years at MDDG, I am currently the Sr Vice President.

I find passion in arranging spaces and have a unique ability to envision the “whole” picture. My detail-oriented designs produce original results that keep clients’ needs & vision a top priority. I am a 2009 Interior Design & Technology Graduate from Texas State, a nationally recognized NCIDQ Certificate Holder, and Registered Interior Designer within the State of Texas. I joined MDDG in 2011 and enjoy spending time traveling for inspiration with my husband, Ben.

Architectural details and finishes interest me the most about interior design. I enjoy working closely with our clients on the specification process and design development for our projects. After receiving my BA in interior design at Texas State, I started my career in hospitality design before joining the MDDG team. As native Austinites, my husband and I are raising our two beautiful children, Jaxon and Joslyn, in this great city. I am truly blessed to earn a living doing what I love!

After receiving my BA in interior design from the Art Institute of Austin, I began my design career right here with MDDG. I’m the first to get my hands on a project during the design phase. I get the project rolling in a creative direction that takes careful consideration of the client and their buyer target market. After moving often in a military family, I finally settled in Austin with my husband and daughter. I feel so lucky to find a firm that feels like family to me.

Logistics Manager
I have always been motivated by a desire to understand how things work and how I can make them work even better, which is what drives my passion for logistics and operations. At the end of the day I love to reflect on all I’ve accomplished and how I’ve added value to our business. Most importantly, I get to spend every wonderful evening with my best friend and wife, Ashley, and our energetic, and somewhat spoiled, pups Jackson Jo Rockstar and Scraps McGee.

Office Manager
I bring 10+ years of accounting experience to MDDG. After receiving my BA in Criminology from Drury University, I worked as a Fraud Investigator in the banking industry. This is where I discovered my love of solving financial puzzles. After leaving the bank I began working with start-up companies and became the Director of Finance for a marketing agency in Dallas and assisted in their growth to the national level. In 2017, my wife and I re-located to the Austin area where we purchased a small farm. Being outdoor enthusiasts the Texas Hill Country is a wonderful fit for us.
