I never thought of myself as a “luxury” interior designer. The reality is that hiring a designer is a luxury service in itself. Still, I’ve always prioritized handmade wherever I can, from working with custom cabinet makers to helping clients commission original artwork. I manage each budget so there’s room for those details.

So if handmade is the new luxury, I guess I choose luxury, even as someone who has always hated labels. Hands over machines, communities over commodities, and artists over profits have always been part of how I work.

If you feel the same, we may be a good fit to design your home together. Reach out through the link in my bio.

This week I caught up on our Austen project, inspired by feminine touches and our client’s heritage woven throughout the design. I’m so excited to see this marble finally getting her moment, and to say goodbye to the most basic of builder-grade bathrooms.

Today also marks a really big moment: I’ve been a mom for 10 whole years. I think my face in the last slide says everything about how I feel about this brilliant, silly boy of mine. What an honor it is to watch him grow. 💙

The lake house project is coming along swimmingly! I’m loving how the design is turning out so far and can’t wait to see it come to life this Spring.

Here’s a glimpse of the kitchen renders and some of the details along the way 🎣

Who else has a lake cabin or a mountain chalet they would like us to put our spin on?! Let’s chat ☎️

I’m on the hunt for the perfect treasures to finally photograph our Hancock Park project after 2 years! So I’m diving into inspiration for the feeling we poured into these rooms to make sure we capture it on camera. For this historical home it was always about keeping the character that made it beautiful in the first place while making it comfortable for a busy family. I’m confident we did just that and actually helped bring back some of the original charm! See the last slide for what the listing photo looked like to know where we started and my last post to see where we are pre-styling 😍

This and that behind the scenes from checking in to my almost there projects, to problem solving on our feet mid construction projects to getting away to cute mountain towns for fresh air.

I feel like I crashed landed into back to school from summer and my escapism into books lately is helping me stay sane!!

Where my Romantasy girlies at?! I went from basically only reading mysteries to give me all the fantasy all the time and Rachel Gilligs atmospheric prose is so inspiring!

Renovation Musts: or what I handle so you don’t have to lose sleep over it 😜

Space planning is non-negotiable. Even with a great architect, a house often won’t be as livable as it could be without a second set of eyes. An architect ensures it can get built. I ensure it can be enjoyed.

Hire a GC who’s communicative and cares about the details, not just the bottom line. Going with the lowest bid every time will almost always cost you more in the end, once the mistakes start showing up and the delays linger you spent that anyways with more stress along the way.

Design before demo. Don’t start building and then try to pick out finishes as you go. The order matters more than people think.

If you’re not sure what any of this means, don’t have the time to manage all these details yourself, or want to build a home with character, attention to detail, and integrity, not just a house, I’d love to talk.

If it sounds like a good fit, the inquiry form is linked in my bio.

Inspiration to installed, from a project I never stepped foot in!

This shower has become one of my favorites this year, and I didn’t even take the photos. My client sent these herself, straight from her own bathroom with total excitement in how we got this gorgeous space together without even being on the same coast!

That hand-blocked tile against aged brass is exactly the kind of detail I love layering in.

I don’t shoot every project, especially the distance ones. But when a client sends updates like this, I can’t help but share.

If you’re outside LA and dreaming of a space like this, I’d love to hear from you. I work wherever you call home, so distance is never a dealbreaker. Send me a message.

Hanging on to summer by continuing to shape our Basin Bay project. The thing I miss most about the east coast living in LA is the density of the trees. There is just something to me that feels more grounded and comforting about being surrounded by them than open space. I’d take a lake day over a beach day every day 😜

Are you a beach person or a lake person?

You know what’s good for your brain? Being able to switch it up. Last week I introduced our Lake Project in Upstate NY, and this week I’m dropping the details on a project that’s in my own backyard. They’re wildly different, and I’m loving bouncing between the two, honing in on how we pull personality into a basic LA new build so the clients feel like the place is truly theirs. That means a black house on the outside, tons of punchy color, sculptural forms, and a decidedly surfer rock vibe on the inside.

It’s always fun working with a client who’s an artist, they bring such creative ideas. Often my job is to interrupt those and pull ideas into the function and flow of a home, while still being their editor and interpreter.

Taking a deeper dive into some design and ideas that have been inspiring me as I work through the concepts in our Lake George Cabin. Rustic warmth meets modern form and it’s going to be the kind of place where generations make the kind of memories that shape your life.
