“My philosophy of home design is simply this: to encourage the client to discern her own unique look and help her create it in her own home. I am thrilled by the client who sees the limitless possibilities working with what she currently owns, as much as the client with a limitless budget to create. Each situation can result in the same end, a beautiful unique expression of the home owner’s vision.”
