XO Kee was founded with a simple purpose in mind: to make a meaningful difference in people’s everyday lives through thoughtful design. I’m deeply passionate about wellbeing and creating spaces that feel calm, personal, and lived in — not just styled. I truly believe our homes are an extension of who we are, and every space should reflect the people who live there. At XO Kee, my goal is to design homes that feel authentic, intentional, and aligned with each client’s vision of their dream home.

I've always been passionate about design in all its forms—from interiors and architecture to fashion and graphic design. While I love every creative discipline, I chose interior design because it gives me the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on people's everyday lives through thoughtful, human-centered spaces.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Interior Design from South Dakota State University and a Master of Science in Design and Merchandising with an Interior Design specialization from Colorado State University where my research focused on luxury retail environments and how design can elevate both experience and wellbeing.

I love collaborating with clients to bring their vision to life, creating spaces that are beautiful, functional, and deeply personal. My goal is to design environments that not only look inspiring but also improve the way people live, work, and connect.
