My objective is to use my professional training and many years of experience to help you create a home in which you enjoy living. I do this by asking lots of questions, listening to your answers, and determining how we can best create a home that pleases you.

Whether classic modern or classic traditional, I try to design rooms that will stand the test of time, that are not trendy or pretentious. I grew up in Studio City, California, spending summers in Savannah, Georgia, so I’ve had a lot of exposure to the best of contemporary and traditional design. A summer in Japan during my formative years further broadened my design sensibilities.

• Some people hire me because they feel overwhelmed by an empty space and have no idea where to start.

• Some hire me because they have lots of ideas and want to bounce them off a professional.

• Some hire me because they know they aren’t interior designers and don’t want to make expensive mistakes.

• Other people are just very, very busy and know their rooms will never be finished unless they get some help.

Whatever the scope of the job, I respect your budget. I am more than happy to make use of things you already own, and have access to many different sources for whatever else you might need.

My focus is on you -- collaborating with you to create a home that pleases you. .
