Describing my style and what motivates my design really begins with something deeper than aesthetics. Design is often thought of in terms of objects: sofas, drapes, tables. For me, interior design is an expression of love- a way to honor what makes a room come alive. Creating a thoughtful space allows others a chance to be inspired, comforted, and engaged with their surroundings. It imparts an appreciation for beauty and art and it has the ability to offer us all a sense of connection. This, in particular, drives my love of repurposing objects. Honoring the past by reusing something in a new way brings into harmony that which is traditionally thought of as opposing elements: young and old, glam and boho, city and country. It is here- in this space of old and new- that I find myself most inspired: honoring the past by sharing it with the present.
