Thank you for the warm welcome to downtown Manhattan! It feels wonderful to be back, starting this new chapter after years of exploring different creative paths... from running an interior design business to painting furniture...since earning my Interior Design degree from Kansas State University.
Today, I work with clients right in their homes, helping create spaces that feel personal, comfortable, and truly loved. To begin, just fill out the form and we’ll talk through your project and set a time to meet.
My goal is to make the process easy and enjoyable. I’ll listen to your ideas, answer questions, offer clear guidance, and provide a custom estimate before we get started. And yes, I still show up ready to help… sometimes with a paintbrush and ladder in hand!
Can't wait to hear what you’ve been dreaming of...let's bring it to life!
See you soon!
