Using a designer affords a client the ability to hire a professional thereby avoiding costly mistakes, providing access to trade only showrooms and galleries and bringing a cohesive statement to rooms with a refined eye.
There are many design elements, when shopping the trade, that are not readily available to the general public. The newest, cutting edge furnishings, fabrics, wall coverings and accessories are usually found in the trade showrooms where a tremendous array of styles are featured.
My most valued design philosophy is be authentic and honest about your tastes, lifestyle, who you are, and what you want to portray about yourself. Be comfortable in your own skin and your environment will fulfill you.
My unique style implements a fresh, young, classic clean-lined aesthetic, incorporating high end style with great livability. I emphasize communication with my clients to learn all about them which shows up at the end of the project by molding their vision into reality.
As I used to tell to the late Mr. Albert Hadley when I would run into him at the NYDC, “You are my icon.” His rooms are always sophisticated with a quiet elegance that harks back to Billy Baldwin’s refined style.
Having started as a fashion designer, I am keenly aware of the old masters: Chanel; Balenciaga; Ungaro; Valentino; Schiaperelli; Dior; and Oscar de la Renta. I could never name just one favorite.
I think this is the year (2020) that everyone will agree that your home is probably the most important place in the world. I have always cherished my home, but this new reality has really opened up many people's eyes to just how important your home really is. Outdoor space, some privacy & comfort with (beauty of course) are all essential now. In my dreams, I am visiting places like Italy, Marrakesh, and Greece once again!
I really truly LOVE my business and all the people I get to meet and socialize with. Of course, my family, and my little dog, Honey!
