About

Interior architecture, grounded in craft.

I'm an interior architecture designer based in San Diego, with a Bachelor of Arts in Interior Architecture from San Diego State University (2026). I'm drawn to projects that shape how communities live, learn, and connect, and to a practice grounded in craft, material honesty, and the quiet details that make a room feel inhabited.

My approach blends rigorous technical craft with a sensitivity to how spaces feel, how light moves through a room, how materials weather with time, how a well chosen detail can anchor an entire composition. I believe good design respects both the people who will live in a space and the larger communities and ecosystems it belongs to.

I'm currently part of the interior design team at DLR Group, San Diego, following earlier design work with Ryan Young Interiors and the Timber Strong Design Build competition team at SDSU.

In their words

Chloe helped me remodel my office, I wanted to turn it into a room where I could stream and record content and she did just that. I love my office so much now, I could record anywhere, I have a green wall to turn my office into anything I want, and it's all I wanted. Thank you !
