My Background

I founded Santa Fe Kitchen Design to be the go-to resource for those looking to create a beautiful, functional kitchen in and around Santa Fe, New Mexico.

My keen interest in design, and in spaces that masterfully marry functionality with beauty, led me to move to the art-centric city of Santa Fe in 2018 to work at the leading kitchen design studio in town, Kitchens by Jeanné. There I worked side-by-side with the owner, Jeanné Sei, until her retirement in 2021. Before that time, I had been living and working in New York City where I had an extensive career in banking and project management, both of which now prove helpful in establishing and maintaining a budget, and ensuring a successful implementation of kitchens. In New York I attended the Interior Design program at Parsons School of Design to deepen my knowledge of the design field.

What interested me in working at Kitchens by Jeanné, and what made it so special, was her holistic approach to kitchen design and commitment to client satisfaction. Jeanné went much further than just selling and installing cabinets and countertops. Depending on the clients’ needs and interests, she would also assist and advise them in the selection of all other essential products and services, including appliances, tiles, plumbing fixtures, hardware, contractors, and so on. She was not satisfied until both she and her clients were completely happy with the results.

Now that Jeanné has retired, I am proud to bring the same attention to detail, caring coordination, and practical experience to my clients through Santa Fe Kitchen Design. You’ll find my attention to detail, dependability, and excellent project management skills create kitchens that are personal, functional, and beautiful – while being delivered on-time and within budget.
