Spaces that change how you show up.
atelier nine
Atelier Nine is a design studio rooted in the belief that environment is a pillar of wellbeing.
Design isn’t just visual; it’s emotional, sensory, and deeply human. The spaces we inhabit shape how we move through our days, how we connect, and how we feel within ourselves.
We approach each project with clarity and intention, creating layered, refined interiors that feel cohesive, elevated, and entirely aligned with the lives lived within them.

I’m the founder of Atelier Nine, a Denver-based interior design studio rooted in the belief that environment shapes how we live, feel, and function.
My background in psychology and health coaching informs every project. I approach interiors through the lens of human behavior and wellbeing, designing spaces that support how you move through your days and how you want to feel within them.
Before founding Atelier Nine, I built an organizing and space planning business where clients often described experiencing relief, even peace, for the first time in years. That realization shaped my philosophy: design isn’t surface level; It’s transformational.
I have experience working closely alongside general contractors and project managers, ensuring that creative vision and construction execution move seamlessly together. Thoughtful collaboration is essential to delivering spaces that are both beautiful and deeply functional.
Outside of the studio, I value simple rituals — dinners with close friends, coffee walks with my dog, dancing with my fiancé, and music that moves me.
These moments reinforce what I believe at my core: our environments should support connection, presence, and growth.
