“I’m inspired by many things: travel, architecture, fine art, nature, and the past. I transport myself there through design and architecture books in search for unique elements that stand the test of time. I’m also constantly looking for opportunities to reinvent a historic element through modern  interpretation.”

 

 

 

 

Tips of the trade

• Look beyond your go-to resources and hunt for something unique, something old, that adds character and soul to your space. The unexpected is beautiful and thought-provoking.

• Strong bones make beautiful designs. Think of design as a pyramid – architecture is always the foundation; furnishings only serve as a bandage if the bones of a space are weak or limited.

• Anticipate and accommodate fresh greenery and flowers as part of any room’s overall color palette. A bold pop of green addsmore visual interest than you would imagine. The most successful designers are the ones who practice restraint.
