5 myths about home design
white walls are always the answer
There will be colors better suited to your space. However, factors like lighting, contrast, and scale influence color perception. Statements like 'white walls will make a room feel larger' isn't true for every scenario.
good design has to be expensive
The building blocks to good design are thoughtful layouts, comfortable lighting, and intentional belongings in a space. It rarely has anything to do with having high-end brands or large price tags.
bigger homes are just.. better
The best designs come from intentionality with function and flow. Not square footage. Large homes often have space that's under utilized.
renters shouldn't invest in design
Design impacts everyone's well-being and daily life. If you want more intuitive routines, less daily friction, or just more delight in your home, good design is worthwhile.
open concept space is superior
Like much of design, this is a preference! Many people prefer more intimate, defined spaces for acoustics, coziness, privacy, and other reasons too.

what I do
Through collaborative sessions and actionable plans, you'll get design documents that:
-
Improve layout and flow
-
Supports your daily routines
-
Integrates interests, hobbies, and values
The design can be implemented by you, general contractors, handypeople, etc.
After working together, your space will not only reduce barriers and stress of everyday life but encourage connection in your home.
what I don't do
I'm not a traditional interior designer that offers full service design. Meaning I don't:
-
Oversee contractors work
-
Manage projects end-to-end
-
Install furniture, lighting, decor, etc
This allows me to tailor home design and work with folks anywhere (virtually)

my design philosophy
No cookie-cutter aesthetics here, unless you are cookie cutter. I ground everything in you—your lifestyle, routines, and quirks— so your space feels like a true reflection of your complex and multidimensional self.
Life is messy and beautiful. Your space should strike the balance between practical and comfortable, so your everyday needs aren't hindering. I integrate design psychology to support how you actually live.
I enjoy designing homes that foster connection and care for the people inside and the world outside. Sustainable, thoughtful choices make spaces where memory-making happens naturally.
