Mountain Modern Living
  • At the heart of every project, we combine luxury design with a sustainable framework to create a space that is both elegant and environmentally conscious. Our approach ensures that while your space is transformed into a sanctuary of sophistication, it also reflects responsible choices. Here’s how our high-end sustainable interior design process unfolds:

    1. Programming Phase: In this initial phase, we’ll collaborate to understand your goals, with a focus on luxury, sustainability, and functionality. Whether it’s reducing environmental impact through material selection or enhancing space planning, I’ll work with you to gather the necessary details. Together, we’ll define your aesthetic and sustainability objectives for a home that aligns with your values.

    2. Conceptual Design Phase: Based on our discussions, I’ll develop a concept that seamlessly blends luxury and eco-conscious design. Using mood boards, sketches, and visualizations, we’ll explore designs that reflect your style—whether it’s modern elegance or timeless classics—while incorporating sustainable materials, energy-efficient systems, and eco-friendly practices into the foundation of the design.

    3. Design Development Phase: Once we agree on the concept, I’ll refine the design, carefully selecting sustainable, high-end materials and developing the layout. From reclaimed wood to low-impact finishes, we’ll focus on luxury without compromise, ensuring the space is both beautiful and aligned with sustainable practices.

    4. Construction Documentation Phase: After the design is finalized, I’ll create detailed construction documents to guide contractors. These include floor plans, elevations, and material specifications, ensuring the project follows our vision of sustainable luxury at every step.

    5. Construction Administration Phase: Throughout the construction, I’ll oversee every detail to ensure your home reflects both sophisticated luxury and sustainable principles. Whether it’s conducting site visits, working with contractors, or selecting eco-conscious fixtures, I’m committed to ensuring the space is both beautiful and mindful of the planet.

  • I collaborate closely with my clients to establish a budget that reflects the scope of the project, the quality of materials, and any specific preferences you have. We’ll consider all aspects, from luxury finishes to sustainable options, ensuring your investment aligns with both your vision and values, while delivering a beautiful, functional space.

  • Absolutely! I love incorporating existing furniture and decor into the design. Whether it's a cherished piece of furniture or sentimental decor, these items often add character and personal significance to a space. Reusing what you already have not only makes the space uniquely yours but also aligns with sustainable practices—reducing waste while maintaining a balance of luxury and personal style.

  • While both interior designers and interior decorators enhance the interior environment, there are key differences between the two professions. Interior designers, like myself, are trained in spatial planning and often work on projects that involve structural changes, such as altering the layout of a space, adding or removing walls, and ensuring that the design adheres to building codes and regulations. This comprehensive approach allows us to create functional and aesthetically pleasing spaces tailored to the client's needs.

    On the other hand, interior decorators primarily focus on the aesthetic elements of a space. Their work typically involves selecting color schemes, furnishings, fabrics, and accessories to create a cohesive look. While decorators play a crucial role in beautifying spaces, they do not typically engage in structural planning or changes.

  • Absolutely! Eco-conscious design solutions are vitally important to our industry and our planet. I am committed to integrating sustainable practices into my designs by using eco-friendly materials, energy-efficient products, and environmentally responsible techniques. Whether you're looking to reduce your carbon footprint or create a healthier living environment, I can help you achieve a beautiful, sustainable space.

  • I offer my services in the Denver Metro and Boulder areas of Colorado, but am open to other projects outside those areas. Let's talk about your project.
