For nearly two decades, I led product design and merchandising for a home décor and lighting company. I traveled overseas to work directly with the factories that made our pieces — walking the production floor, sourcing materials in person, catching quality issues before they ever reached a customer. That experience taught me what actually makes a piece last, not just what makes it look good in a photo. I bring that same standard to your home: finishes that won't chip, fabrics that hold up, fixtures that still feel right years in.

I also watched trend after trend come and go in that time. That's exactly why I design for timeless, not trendy — a home that still feels right long after the "in" look has moved on.

It's also why I never built a signature look of my own. I spent those years designing across dozens of different styles instead of pushing one look as "mine." So when I design your home, I'm not layering my style onto it — I'm building around yours.

Outside of client work, I'm usually doing the same things I design for: cooking dinner for my family, tending my garden, sharing a glass of wine with people I love. I design for a life I actually live. That's why I design around the life you're living, too.

I know you want a beautiful, functional space. I also know you have a life to fit it into. That's why our process is built to guide you through every step — smooth, considered, and never at the cost of your day-to-day.
