With my work, I strive to create moments of joy, strung together to tell a happy story. Rather than designing through the lens of a singular style, I bring a fresh approach to every project to create spaces that are warm and inviting, yet fresh and modern. Whether I’m creating a haven for escape from a busy day, or building up to an aspirational goal, it all starts with the client’s needs. My intention is to breathe life and energy into a space with a refined aesthetic that resonates with the client through a functional layout and natural flow.
Sense & Sentimentality
My approach is to design spaces incorporating a client's family treasures and art collection, so a room is always a reflection of the individual. Whether the design mandate is to curate, edit or reinvent, it all starts with the masterplan that serves to elevate the end result.
It’s all in the Details
Great design needs both macro and micro-solutions. I give acute attention to everything from the masterplan down to the details of hardware and finishes. The spaces must feel congruent and related, with a language of craft and detail that is consistent from room to room. From cabinet pulls to base moldings to stair tread profile and beyond, every detail is crucial to the overall cohesiveness of the language of the spaces that are created.
Design Process
My design process starts with getting to know the clients' lifestyle; How they live, work, entertain and spend their free time. This conversation often begins with the heart of the home: the kitchen. Afterall, this is where people love to congregate. How does the client want the room to feel? This is where I often get the best feel for who the client is.
Furniture and Art
Much of the language that spaces speak, revolves around the curation of the client’s personal collection of art and furnishings. I love to mix antiques and art with modern pieces. My approach is to use antiques sparingly and in unexpected places to elevate their importance and allow space for them to breathe and be noticed.
