As the only child of a commercial set designer, I often got carted along on buying trips and installs.

Because I believe so strongly in the profound effect our home environment has on our lives, and because I believe that everyone should have a home that adds to their well-being, I am proud to be a local designer for Pen + Napkin, a nonprofit which furnishes homes for those transitioning from homelessness or abuse.
I'll email you the way I'd want to be emailed: occasionally, with useful tips.
