I know the stereotypes—and I don’t fit them. I’m not hyperactive, and I’ve masked my symptoms so well that it took decades to recognize them. As I’ve learned, ADHD presents differently in women than it does in men, and that difference is often misunderstood.

This blog exists because, at my core, I’m a problem solver. I love helping clients maximize functionality in their homes—whether it’s reworking a layout to improve flow or repurposing an underutilized area to create space they never knew they had. Interior design is about making life easier and more enjoyable, and I want to share the knowledge I’ve gained over nearly two decades in the industry.

But design is only one part of who I am. Through this blog, I also want to explore what it’s like to navigate life as a neurodivergent person—sharing new discoveries, ah-ha moments, hyperfixations, books I’ve read, and the realities of parenting. While interior design and neurodivergence may seem like two separate topics, neither one defines me, yet both are woven into the fabric of my life.

I chose to write this blog because social media feels overwhelming, and I want to rely on it less for self-promotion and entertainment. Instead, I want to create a space for real connection—a place where I can share both the visible and unseen parts of myself in a vulnerable, authentic, and lighthearted way. Whether you’ve been professionally diagnosed, are self-diagnosed, or know someone who is neurodivergent, my hope is that this space helps you feel seen and understood.

I also want to do my part to break the stigma around neurodivergence and help normalize conversations about how our brains work. That’s why I named this blog “Diary of a Neurodivergent Designer”—because I want this to be a term we all start to feel comfortable using.
