My approach to design begins with understanding how you live—not with imposing a particular look or style. Every project has its own story, its own challenges and its own opportunities, and I believe the best interiors grow from all three.
With nearly three decades of design and renovation experience, I’ve designed everything from individual rooms to extensive renovations, additions and whole-home projects. Whether we’re rethinking how a kitchen functions, transforming rooms that no longer suit the way you live, or layering the final details into a home, I look at both the big picture and the details that make it personal.
I love mixing periods, styles, materials, color and unexpected elements to create homes that feel collected rather than prescribed. Sometimes that means working with pieces a client already loves, and other times it means changing far more than they originally imagined. Either way, the goal is the same: a home that feels distinctly theirs.
My clients often tell me I see possibilities they wouldn’t have considered on their own. One of my favorite reactions is, “I never would have chosen that—but it works perfectly in here and is so me.” That’s exactly what I want good design to do.
I believe the process should be as thoughtful as the finished home. I personally guide each project from the early ideas and decisions through the details that bring it all together—with plenty of conversation, curiosity and, yes, some fun along the way.
If you’re ready to talk about what your home could become, let’s schedule a conversation.
