About Me

From interior design to museums, my clients and projects have been about how spaces can be shaped to enhance our lives.


When we work together, it'll be us finding & harnessing the power of place to foster a sense of belonging.

Large-scale master plans or small renovations; I'm not shy about getting into the technical details while keeping a high bar for aesthetics and practicality.

It takes a team to carry projects forward, and I love to do my part with clear lines of communication.

Since people are busy and schedules are always tight, providing just the right amount of detail and context is key so we all can make quick smart decisions with confidence.

Because at the end of the day, it's about creating unique & authentic spaces tailored to the client by balancing basic needs with the biggest of dreams.

P.S. I have a soft spot for Historic Preservation, anything bouclé, and design style quizzes.
