Paige’s journey into interior design began at a young age when she exhibited a keen eye for detail and a natural talent for drawing and creating things with her hands. Growing up on the West Coast, Paige developed a love for the ocean and the rugged beauty of her surroundings. This led her to pursue a degree in Interior Design, where she has honed her skills and expanded her creative horizons.

Thesis Project

Canuma Wilderness Resort, Paige’s thesis project, explores the intersection of luxury hospitality and environmental stewardship through the design of an ecotourism destination on the West Coast. Rooted in sustainability and cultural preservation, the resort offers immersive guest experiences that celebrate natural beauty while supporting local communities. With a focus on conservation-driven design, the project integrates high-end accommodations with low-impact practices, inviting visitors to engage deeply with the landscape and contribute to a more sustainable future.
