About Forge Mountain Design...

Crafting beautiful interior and exterior designs with passion and expertise.

It sounds cliche, but, after too many years spent in the grind of corporate America, I came to realize my happiness lay in the act of creating and building. As well as the joy I received from sharing those creations with those around me.

Then after slowly transitioning to design and custom home building during my career, and pending seven plus years in that industry in Charlotte, my family found the opportunity to move to Asheville as a result of the Covid pandemic.

This move ultimately paved the way for our family to start a small interior design and landscaping business. Taking on small projects here and there - painting, small repairs, landscaping - initially taking on projects for friends and neighbors. Eventually we realized the opportunity we had on our hands. And to our delight, word of mouth quickly spread, leading to a steady stream of clients.

After moving to Asheville and buying our second "fixer upper" - repeatedly vowing we would never do this again - my husband and I quickly realized we could get much better results learning how to renovate our list of home items ourselves, rather than rely on contractors that consistently disappointed.

After many trials and errors -and a few minor injuries and visits to Urgent Care - and learning by doing, our renovations slowly started producing quality, timeless results that we could get genuinely excited about.

This slowly transitioned to establishing a small business in these beautiful mountains and it has helped us realize a been a lifelong dream we didn't know we had.

I hold a BA in Sociology with a Minor in Horticulture from Clemson and currently live in Asheville with my husband, three dogs, two cats, two rabbits, and an excessive amount of chickens.
