From private spaces to public places, Elephant in the Room gets your property ready to sell or dwell.
I began swinging a sledgehammer, designing + staging homes in 2007 as part of the family business of real estate investing.
In 2015 I opened Elephant in the Room after a life changing car accident, and a 3-year rehab period, placed me at a crossroads in my career. As I rehabbed from the accident, I co-owned and staged a flip with my brother, and in January 2015, that staged home sold in record time during a brokers' open house. That moment marked the birth of Elephant in the Room Interior Design.
My unique background combines over two decades of experience in advertising and marketing, with a deep understanding of real estate investing. This blend allows me to maximize property equity by strategically designing and staging spaces that appeal to buyers' psychology and purchasing behaviors. I work closely with real estate investors, builders, realtors and homeowners to ensure each project achieves the highest return on investment with minimal expenditure.
In 2017, I worked with The Real Estate Staging Association (RESA) to start a chapter in Indianapolis. I served as President of the Indianapolis RESA chapter from 2017 - 2019, the maximum term allowed.
I am a RESA-Pro member and a Certified Staging Professional® (CSP) as well as a member of the Interior Design Society in High Point, NC.
Elephant in the Room offers a comprehensive range of services tailored for real estate investors and builders, including sourcing furnishings, warehousing, installation, and award-winning home staging.
The influence of travel and living internationally has influenced my design aesthetic, allowing me to craft casually elegant spaces that are refined, layered, and sophisticated, for both selling and dwelling.
I currently live on 6 acres, with a wild bunny sanctuary and my yellow lab, Tucker, who I adopted from the local animal shelter. I’m slowly transitioning my 1976 custom ranch home to British Colonial style with a focus on indoor/outdoor living.
