I have a knack for blending antiques with contemporary design, marrying 21st century conveniences with the history and existing integrity of the space.

With a decorating resume that includes 1840s Southern plantations, Victorian homes, pre-war New York City apartments, and 1940s Vermont summer camps (just to name a few), I bring a great passion and talent for “historical preservation” to the creative interiors table. It’s here that I put my eclectic background in American studies and my expertise in antiques (earned a Certificate in Antiques from Parsons School of Design in New York City) to work, bringing new life to renovating historic spaces while maintaining their historical integrity and uniqueness.
