After a 15 year career in corporate visual merchandising and store design for brands such as Banana Republic and Ralph Lauren,, I became a certified charter member of the Interior Redecorators Network in 1998. I began my design career offering a unique decorating service that  re-styles the furniture and accessories you already have, while editing and adding elements to elevate the overall design of your design of your home. I have expanded my design offerings to meet the needs of clients with all budgets and in all stages of design from empty homes to lived in spaces. With an ability to see the potential in every room, my vast experience and keen sense of style allow me to transform my clients homes.

In addition to Interior Design, in 2018 I pursued another passion of mine, yoga. I am now a 500 RYT Advanced yoga educator at Yoga Mechanics in Montclair NJ, whose studio I designed in 2021.    Curiosity, coupled with conscious connection, is a mainstay of my offering as it has helped me leverage my life and my practice to the fullest.  My class is for all levels of practice, including newly yoga-curious folks. I offer alignment cues to provide structure to poses, including options to modify or expand your experience.

I am also a fashion-obsessed lover of summer, and mom to two young adults that keep me forever learning the latest and greatest in music, technology, and trends. I started my design business to escape a corporate career I thought I loved, and became a yoga teacher to keep my Gemini brain happy, busy, & balanced. My life is quite literally, by design.
