founder of Every Home a Haven Design

I believe every home can become a haven where weary hearts are restored, scattered thoughts are gathered, and life feels a little more whole again.

Home is not about perfection. It is about presence, intention, and the quiet beauty of everyday life being lived well.

A Philosophy of Home

I know no other way than to live from the heart. Scripture reminds us that the heart is the wellspring of life, and I’ve found it to be true that everything we do flows from it. A home is built for the hearts it holds.

I believe we are invited to cultivate the spaces around us, creating environments where life can flourish and people can breathe a little deeper.

From the way we design our homes to the rhythms we build within them, the small and intentional choices we make over time quietly shape the life we live.

Life on the Ridge

My husband Aron and I are raising six incredible children on a ridge in Southern Ohio. We spend our days pastoring a church full of people we deeply love—it is the honor of our lives. Loving God and helping people experience freedom and life abundant through Christ Jesus alongside friends that have become family is a dream come true.

In the in-between moments, you’ll find us hiking to the creek, working in the garden, or trying to remember where we set down our coffee. Life is full, loud, beautiful, and rarely tidy; yet it is deeply good. On any given evening you will find Aron strumming a song he’s written and me in the next room over, holding back tears as I sing along.

We are lovers of all God has created: beauty, people, nature, art. Our hearts come alive as we go on adventures experiencing it all together.

My Work

Though I was trained as a nurse, I found myself drawn to holistic living and the quiet rhythms of healing within the home.

As a self-taught designer, I began by transforming spaces with limited resources and discovered a love for creating beauty through simplicity and intention.

Now I love helping others create homes that feel life-giving—no matter the budget, square footage, or current disarray. I love to cultivate beauty where others see loss.

Every Home a Haven

This is Every Home a Haven—a place for inspiration, restoration, and the belief that home can be one of the most healing spaces in our lives.
