The Julien Dubuque International Film Festival is just a month away!
Dozier—the film I helped work on in 2024, written and produced by friends of mine—will be showing:
• Saturday, April 18 at 7:00 PM

For those close to Dubuque or anyone wanting to see it and support Max and Paola, consider this your heads up—I’d love for you to see it!
Tickets will be available starting April 1, and I’ll share again once they’re live. If you could also follow Dozier the movie on FB & Instagram.

To every filmmaker who received that email.
To every team booking flights.
To every artist preparing to share their work with a live audience…

This is your moment.

In 30 days, we gather.
We celebrate. We experience film the way it was meant to be experienced, together.

Welcome to JDIFF 2026.

🎬 April 18–25
See you in Dubuque!

Design Peek: Primary Bathroom
Sharing a little behind-the-scenes of a home I’ve been working on — this sketch is of the primary bathroom.
It has two pocket doors (one from the bedroom and one into the walk-in closet… and yes, the closet deserves its own moment later 😉). The bathroom itself is layered and luxe with a 12×12 tan and white marble floor, travertine tile on the shower and walls, and a walk-in shower with double shower heads (you’re seeing just one side here). There’s also a long niche shelf planned in the shower for both function and style.
This space is all about warmth, texture, and that calm spa feeling — can’t wait to bring it to life
Stay tuned for the closet next week.

Another peek at this home I’m designing.
The bookshelves are coming together beautifully, and while the jury is still out on the green furniture… I’m a fan 😏 so this is where we’re starting. And let’s be honest—everyone needs a good leather sectional, right?!

This kitchen has been such a fun one to plan!
Wood cabinets, square green tile, and gorgeous quartzite countertops set the tone, while paneled appliances keep everything feeling seamless. The walk-in pantry is hidden behind the right pantry doors, and that dual oven range? Definitely a standout. It's all in the details.

✨ Big day in Kirksville, Missouri!
This morning, cabinets arrived at Steve & Nancy’s home.
Steve, Nancy and I have been planning this kitchen/laundry remodel since spring and they have wanted a new kitchen for 26 years. Their new kitchen is finally becoming reality.

Their custom cabinet color is called Driftwood—and funnily enough, their dog’s name is Drift—so it felt like the perfect fit for their home. 😊

I’m so grateful they’ve trusted me to walk alongside them on this journey. Moments like these are why I love design—watching long-awaited dreams come to life in a home.
📸 Pictured here are Nancy, David the contractor, and myself—Steve was already in work mode and not outside with us.

My favorite carpet line is Kane and I was gifted a tumbler with their logo on it…it’s the simple things that can make your morning.

I haven’t been taking as many pictures lately, but today I snapped a few of some exciting progress—bathrooms and kitchens in the framing stage! It’s always rewarding to see the vision start to take shape.

🎓 Weekend #6 of Continuing Education! 🖥️📐

Seventeen years ago, I first learned the design software I use every day. This year, I made a commitment to go back to the classroom—diving deep into the updates, new features, and tools like Layout to sharpen my skills and stay at the forefront of design technology.

Next up: mastering Enscape, a powerful plug-in that brings drawings even more realistic than what I have offered in the past.

While much of what we’re learning in class is familiar, I’m discovering tools and shortcuts I didn’t know existed—tools that will make my work more efficient and elevate the plans I present to clients and contractors. It’s all about improving communication, streamlining quoting, and making sure everyone involved in a remodel or new construction is working from the same clear, cohesive vision.

As the bike trail passes my house, I see you out there enjoying the sunshine—I’m looking out the window and planning to be on it soon. Give me a wave as you ride by… I’ll be cheering you on with bubbler in one hand and coursework in the other! 🚴‍♀️

Beau is patiently waiting for us to get outside and enjoy the sunshine—and occasionally stretches out across the keyboard to let me know it’s break time. ☀️🐾💻
