Hi. It’s me.

For the last 10+ years, I’ve focused my career on client services in the marketing and software industries, most recently as a Global Director in charge of a team with 100+ people. It wasn’t until we moved back to the metro Detroit area and bought a home that I decided to pursue my creative passions. So I quit my job, took a wheel-throwing pottery class, started to pick up design projects for friends, family, and in my own home - and CKCO was born!

I think the design space is slightly intimidating and I want to bring a layer of accessibility and authenticity where I think it’s lacking. My aesthetic is “grandma who just ate mushrooms and is getting ready for the Met Gala”. So if you feel like that speaks to you, we’ll work well together.

I love hot dogs and I love sandwiches. I don’t love fish, but I’ll pretend to if you invite me to a dinner party.

One time my husband left for a week-long work trip. He came back and 4/5 plants were dead. It was my fault, but was it really my fault when we ALL know I can’t keep plants alive? No. Also very much yes.

Loud colors, patterns, florals and bronze accents are my love language. The greater the funk, the happier the happiness!

My mission for CKCO is to provide design solutions that are wildly comfortable, colorful, chic, unique, and so YOU that you never want to leave it. Even if it’s a design for your bathroom, I want you to develop an unhealthy attachment to that room. Get an air mattress and park it in that space because you’re sleeping in there too. Dinner guests? You’re eating in the restroom folks. Someone needs to sit on the toilet and the roast turkey is in the bathtub.
