My work has been most often described as warm, tailored and comfortable, with the preferred method of design a mix of traditional and contemporary elements, the heavier emphasis being on the traditional.

I prefer texture over pattern in the fabrics that I select, and have extensive background working either in a more restricted palette and neutral tones, or a mixture of color and pattern. Both are appropriate design options when handled correctly.

The best jobs are ultimately the result of close attention to the architecture first. Proper space planning, molding and finish trim details, lighting, and floor materials are key in making the decorative elements that inhabit the space look their best.

I feel that proper lighting is key. This would involve not only those permanently installed fixtures as mentioned above, but perhaps even more importantly, the correct placement, quantity, and design of table lamps, reading lamps, small lights to highlight works of art, and other ambient light sources.

I consider myself to be highly organized and detail oriented. I have had extensive experience in the renovation of older homes as well as the construction of new homes and additions to existing structures. I am well versed in dealing with all of the necessary trades involved in the design and construction process.
