Don’t be afraid to mix textures, even if you’re keeping a neutral color palette. Layering materials like wood, stone, boucle, linen, leather, and metal creates depth and warmth that makes a space feel collected rather than flat. The best part? It allows your home to feel timeless while still reflecting your personality. Trends come and go, but a home designed around you will always feel beautiful.

I genuinely want my clients to fall in love with their homes. To me, this isn’t just about choosing beautiful furniture—it’s about creating a space that feels like them. I’ve always had a natural ability to understand what people are trying to express, even when they can’t quite find the words themselves. I love listening, asking questions, and connecting the dots until we create something that feels just right. Clients often tell me I make the design process feel easy, collaborative, and even fun (I tend to get a little too excited over the perfect fabric or chair!). More than anything, I love making people happy. Creating positive, lasting impacts on others has always been important to me, and getting to help someone build a home they’ll cherish for years to come is exactly why I do what I do.

One of my favorite moments in every project is seeing everything finally come together. There’s something incredibly special about watching a space transform from an idea into a home that feels warm, personal, and uniquely theirs. Seeing my clients’ faces light up when they realize, “This is exactly what I envisioned,” never gets old.

One of my favorite projects started with a client who kept saying, “I know what I don’t like… I just don’t know what I do like.” Instead of rushing into selections, we spent time talking about how they wanted their home to feel—how they entertained, where they had their morning coffee, and what made them happiest at the end of a long day. Little by little, everything started to click. When the project came together, they looked around and said, “This finally feels like us.” That moment reminded me that great design isn’t just about beautiful furniture—it’s about helping people discover a home they truly connect with.

Those moments remind me why I chose this career. For me, interior design has never been just about furniture or finishes—it’s about creating spaces where people will make memories, celebrate milestones, and simply feel at home. Knowing I had the opportunity to be a small part of that is what makes this job so meaningful to me.
