About Erin

A genuine partner in the design process.

I graduated from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo in Clothing, Textiles and Merchandising, and my career has woven through furniture, flooring, textiles, hospitality products, and independent representation for over two decades.

That range matters — because great projects are layered. They need texture, light, comfort, performance, and visual restraint to work together. I bring a well-edited approach to every conversation, a real understanding of what a project needs, and long-standing relationships with the manufacturers I represent.

I work alongside interior designers, architects, purchasing teams, and ownership groups who expect high standards and thoughtful follow-through across Northern California, Oregon, Washington, and Hawaii.

Keep calm and design on.

What I Represent

Every category chosen with intention.

From guest rooms and corridors to restaurants, lounges, and public spaces — the lines I carry add texture, warmth, performance, and visual identity to hospitality interiors.

Art, Walls, Acoustics

Artwork, wallcoverings, murals, and acoustic surfaces that give a project texture, quiet, and a stronger sense of place.

02

Lighting

Decorative, custom, and lighted-mirror programs that shape atmosphere as much as illumination — for guest rooms and grand public spaces alike.

Furniture & Casegoods

Custom and contract furnishings that support comfort, flow, and a cohesive design story across guest rooms and public space.

Area Rugs

Contract-grade rug programs for spaces that need warmth, pattern, acoustics, and the kind of resilience daily hospitality demands.

Textiles

Performance-minded textiles, knits, and mill goods that support durability without losing visual depth or guest-room comfort.

My Approach

Listen first.
Edit with intent.
Show up.

I'm drawn to projects where materials matter, the product mix needs balance, and the end result should feel layered rather than overdone. Every recommendation starts with a real conversation about tone, traffic, guest experience, maintenance, and what the space is truly trying to say.

I value direct relationships, in-person connection, and the kind of follow-through that makes the process easier for everyone — from first conversation to final install.

Read the project

I pay close attention to the personality of the space and the practical realities behind it before presenting anything.

2

Present the right options

I focus on lines and combinations that genuinely fit — not just what happens to be available or easy.

3

Stay involved

From spec sheet to sample to installation, I stay in the conversation and work to make every step easier.

Who I Work With

Built for high-standards projects.

Interior Designers & Architects

Teams looking for lines with design integrity, hospitality performance, and a rep who edits the field rather than adding noise.

Purchasing & Procurement Teams

Projects that need clear communication, trusted manufacturer relationships, and products that align with schedule, budget, and application.

Hotels, Restaurants & Clubs

Environments that depend on comfort, durability, atmosphere, and details that feel considered from the very first impression.

Commercial & Senior Living

Interiors that still need warmth and visual identity while meeting practical performance needs in everyday use.

“Keep calm and design on.”
