Interstice: A space that intervenes between things; especially: one between closely spaced things
Interstitial Development transforms unused and underused urban areas into residential homes and community spaces with a goal of enlivening and enriching those neighborhoods. We believe in a vision that incorporates the neighborhood community and expands it into its interstitial spaces. We create homes that provide privacy and respite in spaces that connect the community at large. Our vision is the antithesis of urban sprawl. By developing urban infill, we deter sprawl and preserve the nature around us. We endeavor to bring elements of those local natural places into our developments as reminders of our mission to preserve the environment around us. To further this mission, we prioritize environmentally sustainable building of the spaces created.

She has a lifelong interest in architecture and design and currently owns and manages a 130-year-old Edwardian apartment building in San Francisco.

Her love of the outdoors came from wandering the woodlands in rural Ohio and the mountains and desert in El Paso, Texas and most recently, the open spaces in the San Francisco Bay Area. She is looking forward to further exploring both the streets of Denver and the trails in and around it.
