I developed my passion for buildings while spending part of my childhood living in a Frank Lloyd Wright house on his block in Oak Park. That foundational experience developed my admiration for the importance of how spaces function and flow, as well as for how considered design choices give a space its character.

I began my real estate career in 2005 after gut renovating the six-flat where LivingRoom’s office resides in Noble Square. This process provided an in-depth knowledge about buildings from the inside out. I founded LivingRoom Realty to create a service-oriented real estate company that values great architecture and design, lifts up the creative community, and provides top notch service. I love helping clients navigate Chicago’s housing market, working with my awesome team, developing and hosting events, and steering the business to continue to grow in new and creative ways.

Prior to real estate I was an Associate Director implementing global technology projects at Swiss Bank/UBS, and I have an undergraduate degree in Music Business and Bassoon performance. I'm a musician (I have a honky tonk dance band) and a ceramicist, and I love spending time on my property, Red Clover Ranch, outside of Viroqua, Wisconsin.
