I don’t remember life before construction and design. My grandfather was a master carpenter, and as a kid I spent countless hours with him in his woodshop, absorbing the art of custom craftsmanship and the value of hard work. When I wasn’t Granddad’s shadow, I was helping my parents restore historic brownstone homes. Those hands-on experiences shaped my passion for design, problem-solving and the art of building functional spaces. That foundation led me on a journey from small-town New England through New York City and Philadelphia to ultimately landing in Los Angeles. Along the way, I honed my construction skills, refined my design sensibilities and developed a deep understanding of how people interact with the built environment. I met a brilliant architect named Lauren Adams and we collaborated on multiple projects. In 2010, we noticed a gap that bothered both of us: there just weren’t many firms offering a true turnkey design-build service. Homeowners and business owners had to juggle architects, interior designers, contractors and engineers, leading to frustrating delays, budget overruns and disjointed projects. We knew there was a better and simpler way, and so Letter Four was born. Letter Four is a design-build partnership for visionary homeowners and business leaders in the greater Los Angeles area and beyond. Through thoughtful design, holistic guidance and meticulous construction, we create places and spaces that fit the shape of your life.

I started MCM Outdoor Living in 2015 after learning the trade from my dad, who spent his career as a contractor. Growing up around job sites gave me a foundation that no classroom could replicate. I understood materials, timelines, and what it actually takes to build something that lasts before I ever ran my own crew. Before construction, I spent years in hospitality managing restaurants and retail operations. That background changed how I approach every project. When you run a restaurant, communication isn't optional. Guests expect to know what's happening, and if something goes wrong, how you handle it matters more than the problem itself. I brought that mindset into construction, where homeowners too often feel left in the dark. At MCM, clients get a clear schedule from day one, and they always know what's next. I hold an Associate degree in Project Management from Dallas College, and over the past 10 years I've personally overseen the design and construction of pools, decks, pergolas, paver patios, covered patios, and complete outdoor living spaces across the Dallas–Fort Worth area. To date, we've served 500+ families and completed more than 60 custom pool builds, 550+ outdoor living spaces, and 75+ outdoor kitchens throughout Frisco, McKinney, Plano, Allen, Lewisville, and the surrounding communities. MCM Outdoor Living is A+ BBB Accredited, a certified TrexPro Builder, a Techo-Pro Contractor, and a Belgard Authorized Contractor. We install Jandy pool equipment and handle permitting and HOA submissions in-house, so homeowners don't have to navigate that process alone. We back every project with a simple commitment: done in 3 months or you get $5,000. If I'm asking someone to trust me with their home, I need to be accountable to a real standard, not just a promise. My brother-in-law and business partner Chris Weaks runs the operations side of MCM, keeping the logistics and financials tight so I can stay focused on what I do best: designing backyards that families actually use and building them the way I'd build my own.

I grew up immersed in the world of design, where creativity and craftsmanship became my language of expression. As the Creative Director of Viterbo Interior Design Ateliers, I strive to create spaces that are both emotionally resonant and timelessly elegant. For me, design is an intuitive process — a dialogue between architecture, landscape, and the people who inhabit a space. Each project is an interpretation of its location, context, and lifestyle, transformed into an environment that feels authentic and deeply personal. My work has taken me across Europe, the Middle East, and the Americas, from private residences to hospitality projects, always guided by the belief that beauty and emotion are inseparable. I’m fascinated by the balance between tradition and innovation, and by how materials — wood, linen, metal, and stone — can tell stories through touch and time. At the heart of my work is Portuguese craftsmanship, which I see as both a heritage and a living art form. Collaborating with artisans allows me to blend cultural authenticity with a modern sensibility, creating interiors that are refined yet full of soul. Together with my husband, Miguel Vieira da Rocha, I lead Viterbo with a shared vision of excellence and emotion. Founded in 1979, the atelier continues to embody the essence of Portuguese design — thoughtful, human-centered, and enduringly beautiful. My goal is simple: to create spaces that move people, connect them to their surroundings, and stand the test of time.
