A natural passion to grow, expand, and explore through a high energy level and a need for excitement constantly seeking bigger accomplishments. The priorities that shape my leadership experience are to be pioneering, energizing, and commanding. Not surprising, right? These areas and more details are great to know, but it is most important to understand your strengths and weaknesses to create a vision, build alignment, and champion execution with your team.

What can we say, we did it.
We are here, officially launched, and sharing One Line Design Studio with the world. Like anyone else who has ever followed their dreams, taken a leap of faith, or the plunge into the world of entrepreneurship - they say it is the hardest and most courageous step in the process. Oprah says it...so it must be true!
“You’ve got to follow your passion. You’ve got to figure out what it is you love–who you really are. And have the courage to do that. I believe that the only courage anybody ever needs is the courage to follow your own dreams.” ― Oprah Winfrey
We have a myriad of reasons as to why we pursued starting our own firm - both personally and professionally.
Ultimately, it comes down to both of us being at a crossroads in our lives and the desire to focus on our passion & expertise with design. To make an impact on people’s emotions and the feeling that comes from a well-designed space is important to us. It’s not just the visual effect. It is that invisible feeling you experience and the memories created in these spaces that we aim to bring to our clients.
With a dash of “perfect timing” for both of us, we were just two friends, talking on the phone - not about work at all. The next thing you know we are brainstorming ideas, throwing around firm names, and 'One Line' was born. It was that simple. Our hope is that the next steps in our journey are that authentic. Although, we are under no illusion that it will be easy, but we know it will be worth it.
For ourselves.
For our families.
For our clients.
We hope you will join us on our journey. One project at a time, we are thrilled to be launching One Line Design Studio and look forward to taking the next steps with all of you, together.
Sincerely,
Your Co-Founders
