A little background…

Coming from a creative family, my imagination was nurtured from a young age, setting me on an artistic path early in life. At just sixteen, I began my creative journey in England, window dressing with a flair for storytelling through visual design.

After moving to the U.S., I continued my career in visual merchandising with iconic retailers like Macy’s and Saks Fifth Avenue. From there, my role evolved—designing new stores, leading remodels, and creating immersive national campaigns that brought print, space, and sensory experience together in dynamic store displays.

In 2020, a new chapter began when I embraced the chance to live close to nature in the Adirondacks. This shift inspired a natural transition into residential design—where creativity meets comfort and personal expression.

While the Adirondacks are known for their rustic charm, my international background and experiences living across the U.S. allow me to adapt to a wide range of aesthetics and project needs.

Designing interiors that feel original, inviting, and deeply livable is not just work—it’s a privilege I cherish every day.  It would be an honor to support you in bringing your creative dreams to life—whether in your home or your business. Please don’t hesitate to reach out; I’m here to help in any way I can.
