"Our surroundings shape how we experience our lives. I create spaces that make you feel calm, inspired, and completely at home."

The Philosophy

Your space should
tell your story.

Most spaces feel generic not because of bad taste — but because no one stopped to ask what the space could become.

At The Karis Collective, I combine interior design, custom artwork, and creative direction to transform spaces that feel unfinished or uninspired into environments that feel beautiful, intentional, and uniquely yours.

I believe our surroundings shape how we experience our lives. The right space can make you feel calmer, more creative, more at home — and more connected to the people who share it with you.

What We Do

Two ways to
transform a space.

01

Interior Design
& Space Styling

Room transformations, color palettes, furniture selection, space planning, and vacation rental design — for spaces that feel intentional and alive.

02

Murals &
Custom Artwork

Hand-painted murals and custom installations designed for the space — residential, commercial, and everything in between. The thing people photograph and remember.

Selected Work

Collected. Considered.
Completely theirs.

Every project starts with listening — to the space, to the light, to what the client wants to feel when they walk through the door. What follows is always different. Always personal.

Who This Is For

You might be a
good fit if...

  • You know your space could feel better, but you're not sure where to start
  • You're drawn to color, texture, and personality over safe and predictable
  • You want to trust a creative process, not micromanage one
  • You're ready for a space that feels elevated, intentional, and full of character
  • You're a vacation rental owner who wants guests to walk in and immediately feel something

"I want my space to feel like me — I just need help getting there."

Rooted in Maui

Based in Maui.
Open to the world.

The island shapes everything — the light, the textures I reach for, the way I think about bringing the outside in without making it feel like a theme. I work with local clients and travel for the right project.

About

I've always paid attention
to how a room feels.

Long before I called it design, I was rearranging furniture, noticing light, and thinking about why some spaces made you want to stay — and others made you want to leave.

That instinct — for color, texture, flow, and the emotional weight of a room — has never turned off. It's just the way my brain works.


The Karis Collective grew out of that lifelong attention. What started as murals evolved into full space transformations when clients asked for help creating a cohesive environment around the artwork. One project led to another, and slowly a studio took shape.

What I believe.

I believe your surroundings affect how you experience your life. Not in a precious way — in a real, everyday way. The kind you feel when you walk into a room and immediately exhale. Or when a space makes you feel inspired before you've even sat down.


That's what I'm after. Not perfection. Not trend. That feeling.

How I work.

Every project is custom. I don't believe in cookie-cutter design, and I don't offer one-size-fits-all packages. I start by listening — to what you love, what isn't working, and what you want to feel in your space.


My best work happens when clients are willing to trust the process and stay open to possibility. If that sounds like you, I think we'll work well together.

A little more about me.

I'm a wife, a mother, and a creative — living and working on the island of Maui. The island shapes everything: the light, the textures I reach for, the way I think about space, nature, and beauty.


The Karis Collective is growing into something bigger — a broader creative studio where art, design, and imagination intersect. I'm building it slowly and intentionally, the same way I approach every space.

What Drives the Work

Design with soul
means designing with intention.

01
Feeling over formula

I don't start with a mood board. I start with questions. What do you want to feel when you walk in? That answer drives every decision.

02
Collected, not curated

The best spaces feel like they've been gathered over time — layered, personal, a little surprising. That's what I'm always chasing.

03
Art as architecture

A mural isn't decoration — it's a structural decision. It changes how a room feels, how the eye moves, what a space means.

Services

Every space has potential.
Let's find yours.

I offer two core areas of creative work — each customized to the space, the client, and the vision. Many projects begin with one and grow into both.

Service 01

Interior Design
& Space Styling

For homes, vacation rentals, and businesses that want to feel intentional. I help you see what's possible — through color, furniture, layout, light, and the details that make a room feel finished and alive.

  • Room refreshes and full transformations
  • Furniture and decor selection
  • Color palettes and paint consultation
  • Space planning and flow
  • Vacation rental and Airbnb design

Service 02

Murals &
Custom Artwork

Hand-painted work that becomes the heart of a space. A mural isn't decoration — it's a statement. I create custom murals for homes, businesses, and vacation rentals, designed specifically for the space and the feeling you want to create.

  • Residential and commercial murals
  • Feature walls and focal points
  • Custom artistic installations
  • Work designed to complement or anchor a full redesign

How It Works

From first conversation
to finished space.

01
Inquiry & Consult

Submit an inquiry and we'll connect — virtually or in person — to talk about your space, your vision, and whether we're a good fit.

02
Custom Proposal

Every project gets a tailored proposal. No packages, no guesswork — just a clear plan built around your specific space and goals.

03
The Creative Process

We collaborate. I bring ideas, you bring context. The best results come when clients trust the process enough to be surprised by what's possible.

04
The Reveal

A space that finally feels like something. Beautiful, intentional, and unmistakably yours.

Work

The work speaks
for itself.

A selection of murals and interiors — each one built around what the client needed to feel.

your space.

I take on a limited number of projects at a time so I can give each one the attention it deserves. Tell me a little about what you're envisioning.

Before you reach out.

I work best with clients who are excited to collaborate and open to the creative process. If you're not sure exactly what you need — that's completely fine. Start by telling me about your space and what you're hoping to feel in it.

I'll respond within a few days to schedule a consultation — virtual or in person. All projects begin with a conversation.
