Design and fashion have always been passions of mine. For years, I dreamed of becoming an interior designer and launching my own lifestyle brand - but fear and uncertainty often stood in the way. I questioned myself constantly: Would people connect with my style? Would anyone care what I had to say? Would anyone hire me?
At the time, I was leading a Digital Marketing team for a large financial company in Los Angeles, steadily climbing the corporate ladder. But as my career grew, so did the hours - and I found myself spending less time with my family and the things that truly fulfilled me. Sound familiar? In my limited spare time, I began following blogs and stories from inspiring women who had taken a leap of faith, left corporate careers, and built businesses rooted in creativity, balance, and purpose. Reading about their challenges - and how they overcame them - slowly quieted my own fears and gave me the courage to imagine a different path.
In 2018, I made the decision to leave my executive role and fully pursue interior design. I enrolled at the Interior Designers Institute (IDI) in Newport Beach, where I earned my Interior Design Certification. Just one month after completing the program, I launched Studio G Designs and began working with clients on thoughtfully curated interiors that felt both elevated and livable. My design style is best described as simple, clean, timeless, and elegant.
Now, more than seven years later, Studio G Designs has grown into a studio rooted in trust, experience, and a deep love for what I do. I’m grateful to work with clients who resonate with my aesthetic and value intentional, well-designed spaces that truly feel like home. Thank you for being here and for taking the time to learn more about me and the story behind Studio G Designs.
