As a former interiors magazine editor turned designer, I can uniquely reinvent your existing space or start from scratch to create an eclectic and pretty home that reflects you and your lifestyle. I mix modern and traditional using interesting objects and art to give your house personality and individuality. With a background in kitchen and bath design and home building and remodeling, I can help with projects of all sizes.
I am happy to help with a large project or if you need one or two things, or just some inspiration, I’m your person. No job is too small.
I am good at sourcing interesting things no one else might have and look for ways to save money while giving you an individualized look. Any inspiration photo you show me, I can recreate something like it if that’s what you choose or you can let me fully lead the way. As I tell my clients, and as my creative mom always told me, there is more than one way to skin a cat! I am happy to hash out the many possibilities. I also am happy to use items you already have and incorporate meaningful items that have been in your family or collected by you.
Some of the things I can do for you: kitchens & baths, cabinet design, lighting, color consultation, art consultation, art buying and hanging, furniture placement, fabric, wallpaper and furniture sourcing, upholstery, window treatments, shelf styling, accessorizing and overall design schemes.
Appreciating architecture of all types, I am inspired by how people choose to live and the colors and choices that make them happy. A lover of houses, I can also help you find a home that suits you, as I am a referral agent at Shaheen, Ruth, Martin & Fonville.
I attended St. Lawrence University and then graduated from the University of Virginia. I lived for many years in New York and London and then moved back to my hometown of Richmond, Virginia where I finished raising my four boys. With them, I am an outdoors enthusiast who enjoys mountain biking, hiking and, whitewater kayaking.
Let me know how I can help you!
