Personalized Interior Design, on Your Terms
Designing a home should feel inspiring—not overwhelming. I offer residential interior design services that give you as much (or as little) help as you need, without the pressure of contracts or one-size-fits-all packages.
Unlike traditional full-service firms, I work on an hourly basis and you’re in control of every purchase. I provide expert guidance to help you make the best choices for your space, and you handle the buying yourself. That means no markups, no middlemen, and no obligation to purchase from any specific retailer—just honest advice tailored to your style, your budget, and your values.
Whether you’re tackling a large project or just need help picking a paint color, I can assist you in creating a home that feels right for you.
Your Vision, Your Pace
You don’t need to commit to a large project or hand over control. I offer a flexible, collaborative approach that supports you wherever you are in your design journey. Every client and home is different—let’s find what works best for you.
How I Work
I love walking with clients through the entire design process—from floor plans to finishing touches. But I’m equally happy to step in at any point in your journey toward creating a beautiful, functional space.
What I Offer
Here are just some of the ways I can support you in creating a home you love:
- Kick Start Consultations
Feeling stuck and not sure where to begin? I’ll help you develop a plan so decisions happen in the right order—saving you time, money, frustration. I’ll explain where I can be most helpful, and you choose how much or how little you want to involve me. - Scale Drawings & Space Planning
These custom, to-scale layouts help us plan furniture placement, select the right-sized pieces and visualize your room’s potential. I typically present at least 2-3 options for furniture arrangement. The drawings include a lighting plan and major accessories and are supported with a personalized Pinterest board to help bring your style to life. - Retail & Showroom Visits
Need a second set of eyes while shopping? I can accompany you to local stores or showrooms and offer professional advice as you select furniture, flooring, etc. - Paint Color Selection
Choosing paint can be overwhelming. I bring physical samples and leave you with the ones that suit your space, lighting, and design goals—so you can feel confident in your choices. - Accessorizing & Styling
From shelves and side tables to artwork and lighting, I’ll help you place each piece with purpose to create a room that feels both polished and personal. - Room Refreshes
Sometimes the most rewarding changes come from what you already have. Really! I can help rearrange furniture, repurpose items, and “shop your home” to breathe new life into a space—without buying a thing. Ok, maybe a short shopping list!
A Trusting Relationship
I find that clients often feel intimidated about the idea of working with a designer but quickly relax and end up wanting me to be more involved in their project than they originally planned.
Let’s Talk
Curious about how I can help? I’d love to hear about your project. My initial phone conversation is always free, with no pressure—just a chance to chat about your space, your needs, and how I can be helpful.
