I didn't grow up with a lot of money.  If I'm honest, I don't have much money now.   I have however, always been a relatively creative person - an above average writer, good with my hands, and when I look back in retrospect, I’d consider myself a lifelong artist.   

Those skills helped me over the years in creating more beautiful spaces for myself than money or circumstance at the time allowed.   Instead of making basic forts as a child, my brother and I would make luxury hotels from our bunk beds, dining room chairs, extra bed sheets and the household broomsticks.  Our hotels had two stories - obviously -  four spacious suites including a penthouse, and a lobby with vaulted ceilings and a restaurant across from the check in.   

As an adult I’m still affordably curating beautiful spaces.  The spaces are real homes and apartments now and my clients aren’t the younger brother I’m trying to keep off my top bunk but the aim and means are very much the same. 

My goal as an interior stylist isn’t to impose my sensibilities on your space.   My goal is to help you assess the functional needs of your space while getting clear on your own design sense.   Once we know what you like and what your space needs to function, I will help you execute a plan to make the changes you want to see in your home.  

Because I focus primarily on working with people in smaller (under 700 square feet) homes, the practical solutions I provide usually fall into one of two categories- incorporating more of something lacking in a space (like storage or seating, spaces to work or invite guests to sleep) or minimizing something that’s too present in a space (usually a range of clutter that has no home or architectural features that need to be worked around).    Because I’m a lifelong artist, my styling solutions usually include elements of texture, movement and dimension by way of art, decor, plants and florals as well as artfully designed functional items that will add layers of visual interest to your home. 

I believe everyone has the right to a safe, comfortable, beautiful and functional home they feel proud of.   I’m looking forward to helping you achieve that space.
