    DESIGNER

    Hey there! With 24 years in the design world, I've come to appreciate how time flies when I’m being creative! If I had to pinpoint a favorite aspect of the design process, it would undoubtedly be the tactile joy of physically crafting and bringing designs to life. However, every piece of the process holds its own importance.

    That's precisely why I'm thrilled to be part of the team at West Design! We not only engage with clients throughout the entirety of a project, but also take pride in rolling up our sleeves and getting our hands dirty to see the vision all the way through. Whether we're meticulously arranging products in a display case or breathing life into the blank canvas of a new store, our collective expertise and extensive experience culminate to bring truly remarkable designs.

    My personal passion behind the design work is rooted in the collaborative process. I find immense joy in bringing both ease and beauty into people's lives. With every project, I love the opportunity to continue fostering creativity and innovation in this dynamic environment. Here's to many more years of fun, transformational design adventures ahead!

    PHOTOGRAPHER

    Hi! Marie here. My journey with photography began over 25 years ago, and ranges from film to digital, studio to location, portrait to event. Photography means painting with light. I love painting with light. I love encouraging others to paint with light. I love telling a story and capturing a moment that nobody else noticed. After redefining myself as an artist several times over the years, and moving on from my photography business, I have found a perfect fit with West Design!

    The best part of what I do, is noticing and highlighting the small beautiful details that can be found in every event, project or personality. I love being able to capture someone’s authentic self, catching the moment that tells your unique story as it naturally unfolds. Finding the best light in any project is always my secret mission, there can be hidden gems in the most unconventional places.

    I am so excited to jump into all things visual with West Design, and can’t wait to be a part of the new and exciting projects coming in!
