The space
that surrounds you
matters.
Let’s create a home that helps you be you.
Envision a supportive environment that brings ease to your daily life and that nourishes you as you rest and relax. That fosters joy and connection and that allows the space and inspiration for your work, play, creating, loving — whatever is most meaningful to your world.
I can show the way.
My Approach
My work pulls from a deep knowledge of design plus a unique mingling of practicality, empathy, and energy-awareness —and almost twenty years of experience helping real people in real homes.
I use an elegant synthesis of the following design methods and holistic sensibilities:
Interior Design
My work is grounded in the principles and processes of a systematic interior design framework. I evaluate and optimize room layout and function, create cohesive design schemes, and specify thoughtful furnishings and finishes. I am especially passionate about intelligent space use, warm layered lighting, cozy rugs, well-placed art, perfectly-curated paint colors, elegant window coverings, and regarding green and sustainable design considerations. I source materials from vendors exclusive to the design trade as well as from accessible retailers, and also work with local artists and makers to bring unique and bespoke elements to you.
Interior Redesign
Whenever possible, I look for opportunities to be more resourceful and practical by using and re-imagining what is already yours. I love to create an entirely fresh look and feel by transforming your existing belongings and to repurpose or highlight the hidden treasures of your life’s journey. This is a sensible and personal way to evolve and re-energize your home to meet the present moment.
Nature: Feng Shui + Biophilic Design
Nature is a main source of inspiration in my life and I carry this into my design work. I believe that we are best supported when our lives are connected to nature and when even our homes honor its wisdom and beauty.
FENG SHUI, translated as “wind and water,” is an ancient design tradition of respectfully building structures that are in harmony with their environment. It looks to nature to learn about the essential qualities of supportive spaces that have a healthy energy flow. At the heart of this is the fundamental principle of balance, which has become a guiding current of my design philosophy. I integrate Feng Shui’s timeless wisdom in a logical and intuitive, subtle but potent style.
BIOPHILIA recognizes that humans have an innate affinity for the natural world and a need for connection to it. Studies show that access to nature can have wide-ranging beneficial effects on matters such as stress, healing, focus and mood. It is my hope that your environment provides this daily nourishment to you, so I am highly attentive to factors like daylight, views, and natural imagery as well as the integration of plants and organic materials in the spaces I design.
“Our home feels like
a breath of fresh air has entered.”
A Note About Style…
As relates to our work together, my style is your style — curated. I’ll help you identify your design preferences and then use my eye, experience, good taste and resources to guide you to the elements that will work best for your space and circumstances. I want you to feel that your home authentically reflects your personality, supports your lifestyle and wellbeing, and brings you joy every day.
As relates to my own home, I tend toward a constantly evolving and eclectic mix of bohemian and organic modern elements — soulful woods, light airy neutrals, global patterns collected on travels, colorful modern art, happy plants, natural and layered warm lighting, and plenty of ambience.
