“Interior design is not just a career, it’s a passion. It’s a pleasure working with my clients, and their styles and tastes are fully reflective in my designs. My intentions are to save clients time, money and stress by providing everything from project management and space planning to furniture selection and color consultations. After completing projects, my clients often say I seem like both a trusted advisor and a friend.”
