A Re-Introduction with Soul, Style and Substance

It’s been a minute.

In this chapter of quiet evolution, I stepped away from the scroll and leaned fully into the real. The kind of life-building that doesn’t ask for applause — just presence. Creating, mothering, building. I became a mother of two radiant daughters. We traded city noise for the layered charm of a seaside town in Connecticut. Behind the scenes, life has been anything but still. I launched my interior design studio and I am deep in the work — guiding clients through wildly inspiring projects while simultaneously gut-renovating our current home and building the next one from the ground up. It’s chaos, it’s creativity, it’s exactly where I want to be.

And in all of it — every late night, every swatch, sketch, and school drop-off — I was falling even deeper in love with the things that make a space sing and a life feel.

Design has always been about more than aesthetics for me — it’s a conversation between fashion, form, architecture, and memory. It’s how a silk blouse mirrors the drape of a curtain. How a Brutalist sconce can live beside a stack of worn books. How a home becomes a soulscape.

Now, I’m ready to share that conversation again — with you.

This space will be where I explore and express it all: interiors that tell a story, fashion that frames a mood, travel that expands the eye, and the art of making a house — and a life — feel wildly, intimately your own.

Thank you for being here. Let’s make it magic.
