meet the founder
My approach to interior design was shaped on the open road. After trading the Midwest for Colorado with my husband, Ian, we spent four and a half years traveling the country full-time in an RV. That journey offered me an incredible, unhurried education in American architecture, diverse landscapes, and the distinct beauty of regional craftsmanship.
Living compactly for nearly five years fundamentally shifted how I view the concept of home. It taught me the discipline of intentional space planning, the peace of an edited environment, and the value of surrounding ourselves only with objects that carry joy, meaning, and longevity.
Now rooted in Central Oregon, I translate the colors, silhouettes, and raw textures of the earth into warm, sculptural interiors. Drawing from the quiet order of the natural world, I cultivate meticulously considered spaces designed to support daily rhythms and nurture a deeper sense of well-being.
At the heart of Curio Living is the belief that home should be a storied, conscious reflection of the life lived within it. We shape environments that balance functional ease with layered character—grounding spaces where cherished memories are made, inviting you to slow down, stay curious, and truly settle in.
Let’s make yours speak to your soul.

Whether you are preparing for a future renovation or longing for a more functional, restorative home, we create intuitive systems that make everyday living simpler and lighter.

This offering focuses on the tactile and visual soul of your home. Designed for spaces that require no structural interventions or hard-surface construction, we transform your interior through a deliberate composition of furniture, lighting, textiles, art, and storied objects.
By balancing proportion, natural textures, and ethical craft, we create layered, welcoming environments that feel collected over time rather than purchased from a single showroom.
We believe the most soulful spaces are built on mindful balance: anchoring rooms with one-of-a-kind vintage and maker-built craft where they make the greatest impact, complemented by our discerningly vetted trade partners to honor your investment.
