What do you love most about your job?
My favorite part of my job seeing how good it feels to people when their space is fixed. Stale spaces are the dearth of creativity and joy and I positively love figuring out how to free a space from this kind of existential trap. So many places are gorgeous and they just don’t know it yet!
What inspired you to start your own business?
I’ve gone out on my own because I have a great team and a clear vision which I want to share in a big way. I have worked at some of NYC’s highest profile interior firms on a number of major projects and I’ve learned that I can offer the same quality of service in a streamlined fashion that can really benefit my clients!
Why should our clients choose you?
My big goal in design is to make impactful spaces. I love to create a space that stops people in their tracks and makes them say woooowwwww.
I kill at research and know where to find, or how to make all the coolest stuff. And I will never dial it in, I work ultra hard to make all my projects delightful.
Hit me up if this is what you’re looking for, and thanks for your time!
Residential Interior Refresh
This is ideal for projects where the spatial layout looks great, but the furniture and maybe one or two finishes need to be refreshed. After discussions with the client including looking over options to pick the vibe that suits them best, I typically produce furniture plans, visual diagrams and accompanying shopping lists to get everything done. It's a relatively simple process that has custom dramatic results.
Residential Interior Renovation
This option is ideal for spaces that need to be completely reworked. This could include architectural or millwork changes, as well as finish and architectural lighting changes. After discussions with the client to gauge the design vibe and intent, I typically produce a series of visualizations, potentially including full color renderings, to make the big decisions. Then once the direction is settled, the deliverables include a full drawing set and coordination with the a team of collaborators for construction and installation, (this typically includes a General Contractor, sometimes an Architect of Record, potentially a lighting designer, etc).
Commercial Interior Refresh
This is ideal for retail, hospitality or office spaces where the spatial layout is already set, but the furniture and maybe one or two finishes need to be refreshed. After discussions with the client including looking over options to pick the vibe that suits them best, I typically produce furniture plans, visual diagrams and accompanying shopping lists, as well as purchasing help as needed to get everything done. It's a relatively simple process that has custom dramatic results.
Commercial Interior Renovation
This option is ideal for businesses that need a complete change to their space. This could include creating a brand or a rolling one out spatially. This option typically includes full color renderings, a full drawing set, a full FF&E set with custom furniture, coordination with the a team of collaborators, including an Architect of Record, an MEP team, the GC, the code compliance team, potentially a lighting designer, etc. The result is a new business designed to achieve the client's ROI goals.
