What To Expect When Working With Me

I love interior design. In a way, I kind of orbit around it all the time. If you catch me on any given day, I’m probably working on a project, rearranging a space in my head, talking design, or dreaming about it in my sleep. Sure, it’s a little obsessive, I’ll admit, but that’s exactly what makes me so invested in what I do.

When you work with me, you can expect honesty right out of the gate. I’m very direct and I believe in clear, open communication. I won’t sugarcoat something if it needs attention, but it always comes from a place of wanting the best outcome for your space. I’m extremely detail-oriented and highly methodical in how I approach design. I look at the aesthetics just as much as what’s happening behind the scenes and with my background around renovation work, I tend to notice things others might miss. If something isn’t right, I’ll catch it.

At the same time, I want this process to feel easy and collaborative. I keep you in the loop every step of the way so you’re never left wondering what’s going on. You’ll always know what I’m working on, what’s coming next, and how everything is coming together. I also keep detailed records of each project, from our first ideas to final selections, so everything stays organized and intentional.

And honestly, I like to have fun with it. I love finding pieces that feel personal to you and building a space that actually reflects your life, not just something that looks good on paper. Whether it’s one room or your whole home, there’s something really special about seeing it all click into place. That moment when you walk in and it finally feels like yours, that’s the goal every time.
