My background, with degrees in both Fine Arts and Teaching, has led me from instructing high school art classes, through custom ceramic works, to full-time interior design and painting.
As a designer assisting my clients, I see my role as an advisor/teacher, collaborating with my clients to making wise choices and decisions. By guiding them through the design process my goal is also to help them prevent costly mistakes.
When beginning an interior design project, I approach the home like a giant canvas. As always in my work, overarching design principles apply. In careful collaboration with the clients, and with their specific needs and desires always in mind, we create a personal space that is as beautiful as it is functional with the greater goal of enriching and reflecting the owners who inhabit it.
I also believe strongly in incorporating personally meaningful and sentimental pieces from the client. The interplay of old and new creates a far more interesting interior, and is inevitably more expressive of who the owners are.
