My interest in the tiny house movement started when Jay Shafer built his first Tumbleweed years ago. I dreamed of designing and building my own tiny home until 2016 when I started to turn that dream into a reality. I finished ProcessHouse, my first build, in 2020, followed by a Prius camper build-out 2 years later. Now I am putting the skills I’ve gained and passion for creating functional and beautiful small spaces towards Teaspoon Dwellings, building unique tiny homes and camper conversions and sharing low-tech innovations in ecosan and simple living—ideas that aim to bring us into better alignment with our environment and ourselves.
My core values are: Authenticity, Mindfulness, Beauty, Exploration, and Resourcefulness (AMBER). My goal is to reflect these values in everything I create.
