Born and raised in Los Angeles, I’ve always been drawn to design, development, and creating spaces that feel intentional. After spending several years in Bali working on boutique hospitality and residential development projects, I developed a deep appreciation for thoughtful architecture, natural materials, and immersive guest experiences.
Today, I split my time between Los Angeles and Nashville, where I’m currently developing my next ground-up hotel project — continuing to push the vision of design-driven, nature-immersive stays.
House of Bear is my first ground-up project in the United States. What started as a vision became a nearly three-year journey of design, permitting, and construction. Every detail was carefully considered — from the architectural layout to the custom finishes — to create something truly distinct.
The result is a one-of-a-kind cabin that blends modern design with warmth, comfort, and the natural beauty of Big Bear. I believe it’s one of the most unique and thoughtfully built homes in the area.
