FAQs
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
My process always starts with getting to know the client and how they actually live in their space. I like to understand their daily routines, who lives in the home, what currently feels frustrating or overwhelming, and what they want the space to feel like when the project is complete. Every home should support the people living in it, not just look good in photos. From there, we discuss goals, timeline, budget, and how involved the client would like to be throughout the process. Some clients want a full transformation, while others simply need guidance, organization, styling help, or a fresh perspective. My approach is collaborative, realistic, and tailored to each person’s lifestyle so the finished space feels natural, functional, and truly personal.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I studied Interior Architecture at the Boston Architectural College, where I completed three years of graduate-level education focused on residential design, spatial planning, materials, and construction. I later worked for a residential architecture firm and had the opportunity to apprentice under one of the top lighting designers on the East Coast, which gave me incredibly hands-on experience in lighting design, fixture placement, and smart home integration. I now regularly assist clients with lighting consultations alongside electricians and contractors. I also hold degrees in Fashion Merchandising, Retailing, and Fashion Design, which unexpectedly became a huge advantage in the interior design world. That background trained my eye for balance, texture, styling, color, and visual presentation — from retail floor layouts and window displays to closet organization and wardrobe editing. Altogether, my experience allows me to approach spaces both creatively and functionally, with a strong understanding of how people actually live in and use their homes.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I’ve honestly been doing this for as long as I can remember. As a little girl, I would rearrange my grandmother’s lamps, ottomans, and décor because I instinctively felt a space could “feel better” with a few thoughtful changes. Even during childhood playdates, I was the kid convincing my friends to let me reorganize or rearrange their bedrooms before we started playing. I naturally noticed when spaces felt cluttered, uncomfortable, or poorly laid out — and I loved figuring out how to make them feel calmer, more functional, and easier to live in. That instinct eventually turned into a career path. I studied interior architecture at the Boston Architectural College, and after three years, I felt I had learned everything I needed to confidently begin taking on projects of my own. From there, I went on to work in luxury residential design throughout New England, including custom homes in Nantucket, helping clients create spaces that feel elevated, functional, and deeply personal.
