Where It All Began: Lessons That Still Shape My Work Today

Photography by Tommy Lei

Fresh out of school, I stepped into a creative world at The Standard Hotel in Downtown Los Angeles and West Hollywood. It was energetic, bold, and unapologetically design-forward. Every space told a story. Every detail mattered. I learned how atmosphere shapes experience and how confidence in design creates an emotional response the moment you walk through the door.

After I had my daughter, I started working in e-design. I was designing for clients across the country, from Florida to San Francisco, translating their homes through a screen. I learned how to see through the lines, anticipate needs, and make clear, thoughtful decisions that respected both time and investment.

Those early roles taught me two essential things.

First, design should feel intentional and effortless, even when the process behind it is anything but simple. Second, clients want clarity and trust more than endless options. They want someone who can see the full picture and guide them through it with confidence.

Today, my work is a blend of those lessons.

I guide my clients from the earliest conversations through the final layer of styling. From space planning and architectural details to antiques, custom furnishings, and art that feels collected rather than decorated. My role is to hold the vision, manage the details, and create a home that supports your life while elevating it.

You can settle into the process knowing you are in steady hands. I bring clarity and care to every step, so your home comes together with intention.

That feeling of calm and trust is what I have valued since the very beginning, and it is what I hope you feel the moment we begin.
