The Story Behind the Studio
Frequent moves across the United States during our time in the military gave me a unique perspective on home. Each new assignment meant starting over in unfamiliar spaces—empty rooms that needed to quickly become something more: a place of comfort, stability, and identity. Over time, I discovered that thoughtful design has the power to do exactly that—transform a house into a true home, no matter where life takes you.
That realization became the foundation of my passion, and ultimately the reason I created White Oak Interiors in Dayton, Ohio. I now help clients bring that same sense of belonging into their own homes by designing timeless, elevated, and highly functional spaces that reflect who they are and how they live.
As a business owner, interior designer, and project manager, I specialize in full-home transformations, kitchen remodels, basements, and bathroom renovations. I believe the best design comes from collaboration, and I work closely with each client to translate their vision into a cohesive, beautifully executed reality.
My goal is to create spaces that not only look refined and intentional, but also support daily life with ease, comfort, and lasting meaning.
