MEET THE DESIGNERS
and mobile homes. I love watching these small spaces be transformed into beauti- ful, multiuse rooms. How do you unwind when you’re feel- ing stressed out? I enjoy a tasty meal, a yummy cocktail, and quality time with my loved ones and friends. Is there an iconic building or space where you’d like to try living? I would love to live in an autonomous home, one that relies on itself for heat- ing, cooling, electricity, and more. Often these homes have large windows for natural light and indoor gardens for clean air and fresh food. I would enjoy living in a space that is sustainable and brings me closer to nature. If you were a color, what color would you be and why? If I were a color I would be green. I try to bring a calming presence to a room. Many of my clients come to me stressed and overwhelmed by their renovations. My goal is to make their experience as simple and fun as possible. ■
Who inspires you? Stylistically I’ve been inspired both by my mother and by my best friend. They each have a natural eye for design and can make a house into a home in no time. Can you describe a favorite design project you’ve worked on? I’ve recently collaborated with another designer on a bathroom for a log cabin. I don’t get the opportunity to collaborate often, so that has been a really fun pro- cess. I’ve enjoyed brainstorming ways to modernize this space while maintaining the cabin’s charm. Is there a TV show or movie with de- sign that you love? What do you love about it? I was captivated by the design in The Queen’s Gambit . I could not get enough of the drapes, wallpaper, patterns, and midcentury modern furniture. It added to the drama of the series. I am also a fan of the Old New York style with a modern twist featured in Only Murders in the Building . Can you share a trend you’ve seen in the world of design that fascinates you? Although they’ve been around for some time, I am still fascinated by tiny homes

How would you describe your personal design style? My personal design style is eclectic. I en- joy bringing in elements that I’ve gathered from my travels, while maintaining a cozy and organic feel. What would you like to do more of? I tend to work on baths and kitchens with neutral colors. It would be fun to do more kids’ bathrooms because of the flexibility to play with color and pattern.
