When and why did you first become interested in interior design?

My passion is my artwork. Having started painting at the age of 20, I immediately fell in love with the clarity I gained while painting. This translated into interior design when I began working for an architectural firm.

What is your favorite piece of furniture in your home?

My current space is fairly new to me. The space I love the most would have to be my studio, which has this velvet chartreuse couch that holds a lot of memories for me. An artist is only as good as their inspirational space.

What is your design philosophy?

Interior designing is about creating a quality of life for others. I believe a home can be designed in an ideal way to increase your mentality and overall mood. Knowing my clients and putting together a beautiful, positive space for them that they feel creative and comfortable in is my philosophy.

How would you describe your design style?

I am bold in innovating new ideas into a space. Finding that symbiotic relationship between the design and the artwork is always my goal, which often creates this emergence of modern and eclectic design styles

What’s hot right now?

All my spaces have some form of energy, which adds a particular interest to the space. Another thing that’s really taking off in the design world right now is the addition of sculptures in both indoor and outdoor spaces to increase the elevation of the area.
