(sprüs) adj. :neat, trim, and smart in appearance:
“Spruce began over a lunch with my husband at the infamous Huey’s. I toyed with the idea that Memphis needed a new boutique with a fresh approach to design, home accessories, and gifts. There was one very perfect unavailable space. A week and a half later, it was available! Two weeks later, I had a construction plan, a plane ticket to market, and a concept called spruce.”

Owner, Interior Designer
I’m a Nashville-area native and a 2002 graduate of The University of Memphis Interior Design program. After graduation, I decided to focus on residential design in Memphis. I decided to open my own retail space in 2007 that would serve as a resource for the city while also working as a freelance interior designer. I continue to work daily with my clients to help them create spaces that best suit their needs and wants.

I have been at Spruce since 2008 working in both sales and design. I love the unique mix that the shop offers to our clients. You can always find something fresh and inspiring in the store! I have an art history degree from University of Memphis and find that my background brings a fun perspective to my projects. In my spare time, I love shopping for vintage finds & antiques and cheering on the Memphis Tigers!

A Mississippi native and graduate of The University of Mississippi, I spent a decade working in finance, marketing and fundraising. My husband's career took us across the pond to London, England for a few years before settling back in Memphis in 2010. In my spare time,
I am often chasing my three children around town or on frequent road trips to Oxford, Mississippi. I joined the team in 2021 to assist with the business side of Spruce, keeping our projects streamlined and organized. I love the fresh aesthetic of Spruce and helping clients find unique, beautiful items in the shop.
