One of my favorite things about design is the transformation.

Witnessing spaces evolve through conflict and problem-solving is where the magic happens. Limitations force creativity in the most unexpected ways and create the most dynamic spaces.

My design centers on approachable, livable luxury. I’m not interested in decoration for decoration’s sake, but I am deeply committed to high-quality materials that tell a story. I gravitate toward pieces that feel understated and natural - oak, brass, linen, stone - materials that improve with age and use. Restraint is key, and so is comfort.

I’m a researcher at heart (hello, fellow Enneagram 5s!) and love the hunt for vintage pieces and antiques that add genuine soul to a space. You’ll often find me digging through Etsy, Facebook Marketplace, and working with local curators to find those perfect imperfect pieces.

My work bridges European craftsmanship with California ease, always designing holistically with natural, non-toxic materials when possible. I collaborate closely with artisans and craftspeople because there’s always something to learn from the masters.

I’m serious about my work but try not to take myself too seriously - it’s important to laugh at yourself along the way. At the end of the day, I value character over perfection in all aspects of life, and that philosophy shows up in every space I create.
