Heather is a proud Purdue University Boilermaker and has been practicing Interior Design in Indianapolis since 2000. She spent much of her early career as a project manager and interior designer in tenant space planning, healthcare, and GSA government projects. Six of those years were spent at Carson Design Associates until she paused her career when her children were young.

She has been back at CDA since 2022 and specializes in workplace design, tenant planning, facilities management, and healthcare. Before returning to CDA, Heather gained experience in senior living, churches, ambulatory healthcare and higher education. Her Finnish roots wire her to seek functional solutions for spaces we live and work in every day. Heather looks forward to working with you and helping make your visions a reality.

Heather is a loving wife to Jeff for 20 years and mom of three. She volunteers on the Elegant Evening design committee at her boys’ school and with her church hospitality   team. When she is not at work, you can find Heather driving her boys to practice, walking with her puppy, scrapbooking, cheering for Purdue basketball, and spending time with family and friends.
