about

Designing people’s homes is a privilege that I take with care and sensitivity. I take my time getting to know my clients to gain a real understanding of their unique needs. I strive for designs that are not only beautiful, but also functional, and renders an environment for living well.

My projects are mostly in Burlingame and many scattered through out the Bay Area Peninsula in California. They vary from renovations, full/partial remodels, and new construction. I’m involved in the design process from start to finish, all the while carefully managing and nurturing client, contractor, and consultant relationships.

Prior to residential design, I spent the first five years of my career working for Gensler and Studio O+A in the commercial field. Being in the mecca of Silicon Valley, my focus was in Tech Workplace. I designed large scale office interiors for clients like Google, Salesforce, Microsoft, and Nike among many others. I transitioned into residential design when my husband and I welcomed our two daughters. I worked for a boutique luxury architectural firm where I gained experience in high-end residential design and eventually started my own design practice in 2024.

I grew up in the Philippines in a tiny home surrounded by rice fields and tropical vegetation. My love for design was inspired by playing house in the backyard from a very young age. With simple resources, I learned to use my imagination to create spaces through my drawings and sketches during my past time after school. Until this day, I can’t resist the urge to doodle or hand render on a piece of paper just for fun.

I believe in balancing work with leisure as a way to nurture creativity and to get the most out of life. During my free time, I love to read fiction, cook, travel with my family, and practice yoga.
