Stella is a Colorado native who was born a stone’s throw from Fort Collins in a humble farmhouse hailing 900 sq. ft.  Her family’s history tells tales of living in everything from canvas yurts to restored plantation homes, and her childhood was riddled with the constant creation of spaces and visions of future home projects. Needless to say, from the day she was born, a sense of space has always been of great value to her. As a designer, she aspires to create alongside others in a way that elevates peoples' sense of place, so that we may all experience a sense of belonging and connection to home. Stella especially strives for excellent client advocacy throughout the project, creativity and thoughtfulness in design, and an overall  joyful experience for all. 

 

In 2016 she graduated Cum Laude with an Associate’s Degree of Applied Science in Interior Design and 2 certificates; one in Kitchen and Bath Design, and one in Architectural Drafting from Front Range Community College. To bring it full circle, she has been a part time instructor of Residential Construction Drawing at their Larimer Campus for the last 4 years. Stella’s career has been primarily focused and specialized in custom residential design, but she has been lucky to gain experience in a broad variety of projects throughout the years.

 

While trying to make the world a more magical place, she spends her free time adventuring through board games with her partner Colin, getting lost in a good book, or enjoying our beautiful state from her paddle board.
