My passion is designing spaces. I am completely captivated by the seductive, poetic and unexpected design of interiors. A myriad of different design experiences from brownstone renovations to commercial lobbies have sharpened my research and space planning skills while honing in on my preferences and design aesthetic. I love art, design, styling and New York City.
