Healthy Materials for People & Planet

Raw, natural, recycled, local, or adaptive reuse - its the epitome of our work

Natural habitat loss is the #1 cause of wildlife extinction.

In my 33 years as a principal, I have rarely had the pleasure of working with a design professional like Ashley. She is focused and tenacious, with an uninterrupted work ethic. Ashley set a new standard for hard work done with exceptional grace.

Joe C.Firm Founder

I’m a conservation-based design/build consultant, focused on eco-friendly choices and practices which are aligned with the wellbeing of wildlife.

I empower people all over the world to own how their homes are created, positioning them into a place of wisdom and power.

Your homelife can make a bold statement for a better world, and I’m here to show you how.

With shared drive, we work through any and all options available to you so you can reduce your project’s impact to natural habitats.

That means less destruction, fragmentation, degradation and loss to the homes of wildlife.

I offer you a home which gifts home to wildlife, too, thanks to responsible and mindful design/build practices offered right here through Wildlifeel at Home.

A Little of Me

With a BFA in Interior Architecture from the accredited Columbia College Chicago, I moved to the PNW and ultimately put down roots in a small off-grid one room cabin on ten acres of raw land encompassing dense woodlands, a year-round fish laden creek and meadows in the foothills of the Olympic National Forest on the peninsula of Washington state.

I live simply and slowly, I pleasantly enjoy deep work in all that I do, and am endlessly curious about how to fuse my two biggest loves: design and wildlife.

Empowering Connection & Balance 

We are What’s Been Missing

I know you’re here because you love your home, and you’re a natural caregiver for what surrounds you.

And I know you’re beginning to gather that you’re seek for a remodel or new home design doesn’t quite align with your values.

You want a lovely home you feel proud of and feel comfortable in, which speaks to who you are.

But the options to make it so AND still be gentle on the natural world seems pretty impossible to you. I get that.

I’ve been living the truth of that in this industry for many years now.

I’m here to offer you another way. It’s unconventional, but I strongly feel that’s what we need.

So, if you’re ready to jump down the rabbit hole with me, I’m here to guide you to a safe spot to land. I saved you a really comfy chair 🙂

‘Home’ is at our center.

We are passionate about creating homes which are in balance with our natural surroundings (the homes of wildlife!).

And we are passionate about sharing how to coexist in bliss.

It’s our mission to empower those who love home and wildlife quite equally.

We seek to share knowledge about conservation-based design/build practices so you can make mindful and compassionate choices which are well aligned with your core values and the impact you crave to make.

Our Method

When you choose to work on a project with us, the journey will begin with selecting a conservation concept to guide you, rather than a design concept.

That’s starting with the big picture, the forest rather than the trees.

That’s because we choose to lead first with conservation efforts, solidifying with a compassionate yet strong take on the definition of ‘Home’ and the power it can hold.

Throughout your process with us, you’ll see the negative impact you’re minimizing and the positive impact you’re creating with each option and decision you consider.

This is done through design services and/or consultations depending on your timeline, budget and comfort. (I’m always open to simply offer guidance, reviews and feedback of your own designs if you’re a DIYer!)

And, of course, your project will have our pivotal sustainability checkpoints along the way.

You see, we specialize in connecting the dots between you and wildlife.

So, you’ll always have visuals and reports to witness just how your personal decisions are making an impact to your natural surroundings and even to/for wildlife afar!

We hope they’ll help guide decisions which will offer memorable comfort at home, after all is said and done.

Imagine how good you’ll feel when you’ll never be far from your chosen ‘why’ and environmental goals, which we will uncover early on.

And you’ll be left with a home and land which was created from a place of balance and holds a mesmerizing story at every turn.

It’ll be a symbol of your true character, beliefs and values.

I’m here for it. Are you?

Our Mission

It is our priority to empower you to adopt the alternative and choose your ripple effect.

We are here to offer you the best of both worlds: a home for you and a home for wildlife.

And remember: Here at Wildlifeel at Home, we protect natural habitats first and foremost, because one home no longer needs to be sacrificed for the other to thrive.

The design/build industry should no longer cause habitat destruction, degradation or fragmentation; because wildlife deserves a home, too.

If you’re with me on this, we’ll be aligned in much more as well – I’m sure. Let’s build something that feels really good; every step of the way and for generations to come.
