What made you passionate about Interior Design? How’d you get your start in Interior design?
I think I was born with an innate ability to arrange rooms and organize things. I found interior design perfect for me as I was raised in the business. My parents had a furniture store and I started going to furniture markets when I was 5. I love the challenge of finding balance and beauty. It has also been an excellent career path for my work ethic, personality, and need to create.

It appeals to my curiosity. The vintage and new pieces from all over the world open a whole new array of fantastic and unique finds.
How does sustainability factor into your design choices and love of vintage?
I think vintage furniture is the greatest sustainable element. Being able to use vintage is preserving heritage. It’s a gift to own a valued piece.

Favorite way to create a statement-making moment in a room?
Color and layers. Design is all about layers, even for the minimalist.
Do you have any go to color pallets and color combos?
I have about 20 that I love! My favorites are green/black, black/brown, teal/aqua/coral, blue/brown, dark green/light blue, pink/brown. And yellow/sky. I tend to gravitate to clear, secondary colors.
