The Stories
Every room I've ever walked into had something
to say.
My favorite part of a project is getting to share the stores
These are some of my favorites
The Novels
Every Novel begins with a conversation.
Every conversation begins with me
sitting down and asking one question:
What does this home need to say?
Here's some of my favorite stories
Full scope, deep listening, real transformation, start to finish.
Bay Compound
Annapolis, maryland
This client's vacation home had been waiting
a long time to become what it was always
meant to be.
Untouched for years, but full of potential.
A family gathering place that served its purpose —
but never fully felt like the setting she had always imagined.
She came to me with a vision she'd carried
for a long time and a reason to finally make it real
in her final years. I was designing a space where she
needed to feel held. Comfortable. Surrounded
by the family she had spent her life building.
The colors she had always wanted.
The comfort this home deserved.
This wasn't a renovation. It was a gift.
Finally finished. Finally hers, till her last day.
A gift for her family to enjoy and remember her.

People assume a Designer House
is about the designer's vision.
I've always thought that's the wrong approach
The mirror was the detail I'm most proud of.
She was petite. I designed a slight tilt —
giving her a proper reflection at her eye level
while providing a full-length view.
The lighting calibrated to her.
Soft white. The kind that makes a woman
feel like herself in the morning.
Every detail designed around a specific person.
Even when that person wasn't in the room yet.
I'm still known as the bathroom lady.
I don't argue with it.

The roots of this kitchen were worth keeping.
The character was already there — embedded
in the space, the history, the way it had
always functioned as the heart of the home.
What it needed was a chef's kitchen
layered over that foundation.
Not replacing it. Growing from it.
But more than cooking, what this kitchen
needed to reflect was the fullness of the
person who lives in it: a love of music,
an eye for art, a deep and genuine
connection to florals and the natural world
just outside the window.
I brought the outside in.
Not as a design concept — as a truth
about who this person is and what
fills their life with joy.
The kitchen became a room that says
something real about its owner.
That's always the goal.

This was the room I wanted most
to get exactly right.
Holly Lawn has grounds that deserve
to be breathed in
The landscape is the kind that stops you
when you step outside — that makes you
take a breath you didn't know you needed.
I wanted the porch to honor that.
A beautiful settee with custom outdoor fabrics —
chosen for both comfort and longevity.
An outdoor rug that grounded the space
without competing with what was beyond it.
Curated accessories that added
personality without noise.
Everything pointed outward.
Everything said: sit down, stay a while,
look at what you have.
Whether it was a quiet morning with coffee,
a long afternoon with a book,
or a cocktail at the end of a day
worth celebrating — the porch was ready
for all of it.
A breath of fresh air.
A room that knew its purpose.

THE KITCHEN
The projects that prove you don't need
a full renovation to change everything.
Just the right eyes. And someone who actually listened.
