Designer, color person, and lifelong homebody with strong opinions about the color pink.

My work sits at the intersection of interiors, story, and emotion. I help people create homes that feel joyful and deeply personal. Spaces that reflect who you are and how you want to live, not just what’s trending on Pinterest.

Color is always the starting point. To me, it’s not just paint. It’s memory, energy, intention, and mood. The shades we live with shape how we feel, how we show up, and how we connect to home. I love guiding people through that process, helping them uncover what feels good, what feels right, and what feels like them.

Before interiors, I worked in magazines and brand storytelling, writing about design, style, and the quiet beauty of everyday things. That background still shapes how I approach my work: with curiosity, context, and a deep appreciation for the details most people overlook.

These days, I split my time between design consulting, writing, and helping people build braver, more colorful homes. Clients have lovingly called our sessions “design therapy,” and honestly, I’ll take it!

I live in Hudson, New York, with my husband and our Basset Hound, Lady, who fully believes she runs the place (and she might be right).
