As co-founder of CIRCLE Design Studio my strength is seeing the “big picture”.  I have 25 years of interior design experience practicing in Arizona, Florida, and Virginia, and I work closely with all our clients, both residential and commercial, to develop a cohesive design concept that reflects their personal style or branding. I was born in New Delhi and raised in the Philippines, Japan, and Thailand, so much of my design sensibility comes from Asia, simple, elegant, timeless.  My design interests include architectural acoustics, custom furniture, fabrication, art and all media of fashion. You can learn more about these design interests at DORLINI | modern.

I am passionate about design education and have taught at James Madison University, Virginia Tech, and my alma mater Arizona State University. When I am not pursuing design interests and running the business, I am busy running after my four children.

Bachelor of Science in Design,  Arizona State University, 2001 (emph. Interior Architecture)
