Tips and Tricks
Welcome! For over 10 years, I have had the pleasure of working with clients to design their homes and commercial spaces. Each project is a collaboration to create a space that is beautiful, functional, and tailored to the personality and style of the homeowner – or the vibe that the commercial space seeks to evoke. While working closely with clients, I’m often told that I am a fountain of information. I enjoy sharing my knowledge freely as we work together on projects. Completing a project is often bittersweet, because as thrilled as I am to bring a vision to life for clients, it often means much less time spent with people that I’ve come to know, and love, over the course of a project. Recently, one such client asked me, “How am I going to get answers to all of my questions now?” And, thus was born this blog – where I provide tips and tricks related to home design. As you read, please sit back, relax, and most importantly enjoy your space!
