Interior staging and styling with the eye of an artist and the skill of a designer.

What do you love most about your job?
Creating a layered interior design for my clients that tells their story and makes their home their own.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I have always loved creating beautiful spaces, but I didn't realize it was something I could do as a career. A former art teacher, I stayed home to raise my children and found I was able to apply my creativity and design skills to interiors in my own home, as a volunteer for house tours, and for friends and family. I also came to realize that what came so naturally to me that I took it for granted, was not something that most people could do. After hearing multiple people insist I could "do this for a living," I gave it a go!
Why should our clients choose you?
I love what I do, I am empathetic to my clients' needs and wants for their homes, and I have honed my artist's eye to compose interiors that are balanced, unified and proportionally correct. I reuse furnishings when I can, reupholstering, painting, and repairing as needed, I respect budgetary constraints, and I strive to provide a transparent and collaborative process from start to finish.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
To an extent, I can. Given measurements, photos, videos and design inspirations, I can help remote clients complete their projects on their own. Ideally, I prefer to work with clients within 20 miles of Ridgewood and/or Long Beach Island, so I can easily do site visits as needed.
