wellness at home | instinctive interiors with heart
 
 

Welcome…

 
My focus honors you to discover what you love and the way in which you wish to live.  I also value that each of us has something wonderful to bring to the world. By working with you on your home space, I expect to support you in living your beautiful life.

The celebration of self is a practice most of us have placed last on our list for a long time. While sheltering at home, more of us have realized how essential it is to step away from the digital overload and the stresses of daily living. We must be kind to ourselves and find ways to become energized so that we can authentically give to those we love.

The core of my work as a designer goes beyond creating warm, inviting interiors. I want your space to support the lifestyle you want to live along with incorporating ways for you to be nurtured and creative. I layer elegant, refined, classic choices with the things you love to create a beautiful, simple and functional space where wonderful memories will be made.  

I have been in the art and design industry for over 20 years. My intuition, creative flair and artistic style are supported by my business skills learned from the years I spent coordinating and managing sales for Christie’s Auction House in New York. I hold a Masters in Education and a Bachelor of Arts, with additional certifications in interior redesign, staging, floral design, yoga dance, and kundalini yoga. I have a love for learning and continue to develop new skills in many disciplines, expanding and enriching my creative work along the way.
