“The best rooms have something to say about the people who live in them”
– David Hicks
Respectful of the past, mindful of the present and considerate of the future. I believe home design must incorporate all three elements to serve my clients well and bring beauty and delight into their everyday living.
And a hill I’ll die on: the limitations in any project (and life for that matter) often yield the most creative and beautiful results.

-
I pride myself in my ability to understand a client’s needs, desires, and limitations and combine that with my understanding of the soul of the home to bring forth a beautiful, practical and authentic home design.
I don’t mark up design elements, I pass my trade discounts on to you.
Everything is very clear and concise when you work with me. You’ll have access to my spreadsheets to track progress. I view myself as equal parts designer and project manager.
-
With more than 10 years of hands-on experience and a strong design intuition, I've managed projects ranging from complete gut renovations to simple cosmetic updates, primarily through preparing my real estate listings. From years of experience, I’ve learned how to take a project from beginning to end with a strong design vision to guide the way, vigilance to see potential problems before they arise and great communication and relationships with local contractors to ensure it gets done smoothly.
-
Yes, because I only take on a select number of clients at a time my minimum project is $20,000 for design services alone.
-
I work in many styles. A good designer understands the story and vision of a project and builds the design around that through line. With that said, I’ve designed Spanish, Mid-Century, Craftsman and Traditional homes.
