ABOUT

ABOUT ME

Though I've called 3 continents, 5 countries, and 6 states home, I have loved learning the value of living local in each!

When we purchase products we cast silent but telling votes about what we find beautiful, what we put value in, and most importantly, what we support. I am thrilled to call New England my permanent home, where I enjoy supporting local artisans and producers, working with them to resource high quality pieces for my designs.

Previous/current passion projects include:

Covenant Soup Kitchen and Food Pantry intake translator, YWCA of Vermont board member, co-founder and co-exec director No Small Change in Africa Teen Apprenticeship, Harare Children’s Home/Shearly Cripps orphanage volunteer, FWCC Collegiate art show curator, Habitat For Humanity Katrina volunteer, Oasis After-School Program and Single Parent Network volunteer

WHAT I'VE DONE

Holding four degrees from the University of Iowa and the Art Institute of New York City, recipient of an AAUW development grant, and valedictorian, this Jill-of-All-Trades loves learning!

My projects have included

Manhattan penthouses, Martha's Vineyard mansions, Henri Bendel's 5th Avenue windows, Disney/Paramount movie sets, NYC retrofits, non-profit art installations, urban murals, creative consultations, table design at Rockefeller Center, home flips, signage, and bare-budget home staging.

As a professional interior designer in NYC, Connecticut, Zimbabwe, and Spain, I have enjoyed honing my skills and style while using local products to provide environmentally-responsible design solutions.

WHAT I DO

We all long for our environment to reflect the beauty we want to see in the world and the stories we want to tell. I do that for clients through the power of socially- and environmentally-responsible aesthetics.

I help clients discover their personal style sense, enabling them to experience their inner visions in real life! Here are some of the many ways I can help make your vision a gorgeously-green, locally-sourced design:
