A small town girl, born and raised in sweet home Alabama, I have always enjoyed the creative life. My childhood consisted of designing luxury homes for my coveted Barbie dolls, and building restaurants out of Legos. Granny’s free standing record player was the hot spot for every Barbie in town to go for an unforgettable night of dancing and fun. Of course, being a country girl, those days were also filled with fishing, Super Nintendo, and picnics on a blanket with my sisters.

Fast forward to my teenage years, my creative life shifted towards re-decorating my bedroom twice a year and creating the weirdest collages you’ve ever seen. I began to realize that I adored design. I was finding my place in the world, and the creative life was it. I started college at the University of North Alabama in Spring of 2011. After finishing my common core classes, I decided to declare my major: Interior Design. I still remember that fated moment in Intro to Interior Design. I learned the difference between the titles Interior Decorator vs. Interior Designer. Pursuing a career in Interior Design meant pursuing the emotional and physical well-being of my future clients. I learned that it wasn’t just about picking the prettiest furniture, the coolest color, or having a job that “seemed like fun”. Most importantly, I learned what it was: hard work, extremely technical, and community oriented. It means putting others needs before your own in order to create a space that works to nourish the human body, both physically and emotionally.

In the Fall of 2016, I graduated with a bachelor’s degree with a concentration in interior design. My life was forever changed when I landed a job in Nashville and my husband and I moved our entire lives within two short weeks of graduating. I spent the next three years working in the Nashville residential design industry before I decided to embark on my own journey as a business owner. My desire was (and still is) to serve my community with the gifts that I’ve been given and the skills I’ve worked so tirelessly to obtain. It was always a dream of mine to start my very own residential design business, but I didn’t expect that to happen until my later years. In the Spring of 2020, that dream became a reality and I'm thankful to say that Credence Design Co. has been thriving for several years now. I owe it all to my lovely clients who have trusted me to help tell their story.

Now several years into this journey, it is my honor to partner with you to create the home you’ve always dreamed of. Whether temporary or forever, our homes tell our story; I want to partner with you to tell yours. To peer into the past, ground in the present, and dream for the future. My goal is to collaborate with you to develop and celebrate your personal style. To help create and nourish a home that holds all that is near and dear to you. This business is more than just a livelihood for my own family... it is a call to creatively invest in yours. It is a call to improve your daily life and, in turn, the world that we so graciously live in.

This is the creative life.
