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.

Life itself is a process and we can only find a lasting sense of contentment if we’re able to find it in the process rather than… View More
June 2016 Update: The design I am building has changed once again and will be entirely different from the one pictured here. I’m keeping the new design under wraps for now–hopefully you will enjoy seeing it revealed as it is built! I started designing ProcessHouse in April of this year. It started as a sketch on a pad of paper. Then it was a slightly more detailed sketch on a bigger piece of… View More
