Let’s bring that sun-soaked, slow-living Mediterranean vibe to your patio, because your outdoor space deserves just as much soul (and style) as your living room.
You deserve a space that’s as unique and amazing as you are. (And hey, life’s too short to settle for a blah living room, right?) As a Florida-based interior designer with a passion for coastal style, I’m here to help you create a home that’s not just beautiful, but a true reflection of your personality. Think comfy elegance with a touch of seaside magic. Ready to get started?
Tired of your kitchen not working for you? This guide is packed with my hand-picked essentials to instantly upgrade your space and make cooking more enjoyable (and stylish!). From designer-grade cabinet inserts to must-have gadgets, you’ll discover simple ways to transform your kitchen into a space that functions beautifully and that you truly love.
Tossing endless money into quick fixes and trendy decor trends, only to be left with a home that lacks soul and function? You’ve made countless attempts, sacrificing weekends for DIY disasters, and ending up with a space that’s more eye-roll than chic…
My superpower is my VIP Strategy Consultation. This signature service helps homeowners devise the perfect Interior Design Plan. You’ll be confident your new build, reno, or home decor selections are timeless, on-point, and uniquely you.
Let’s talk kitchen & baths. A sound design is timeless and includes form, function, and style!
Need a hand in determining what your design style really is? Well, I can help you figure it out. Are you excited to see your results? I know I am! And let’s face it…decorating your home is more enjoyable when you’re able to narrow down the choices according to your style.
P.S. You can also take this nifty visual quiz from the Designer Society of America.
Whether it’s a new build, reno, or room redesign, I’ll make sure your home radiates timeless coastal charm and your personal style.
This service requires 2 meetings – a preliminary consultation and a final consultation, both of which can be done in person or via Zoom.
As the homeowner, you’ll have some homework before the final consult, but that’s the fun part!
