Grateful to be selected as one of @archdigest ’s recommended interior designers to start off the year. I honestly wouldn’t have believed this when I decided to take that leap of faith in 2024. Feeling so excited for what’s ahead 🙂 And for those of you who are new hereeeee, here’s a little about me~
↓ More detailed thoughts below ↓
I love natural stone. If I could, I would choose marble for everything, but I also know marble requires a lot of care and maintenance.
After learning more about stone and shopping around, we landed on this beautiful quartzite slab and honestly, it became one of the best decisions we made for the entire kitchen design.
Once we finalized the slab, everything else started to fall into place: the cabinet color, wall color, hardware… all of it.
If you’re going through a kitchen renovation, I highly recommend visiting your local stone yard and seeing the natural stone options in person. There is something about the beauty of natural stone that is truly unmatched.

MATERIAL EXPLORATION the power when interior architecture and soft furnishing come together~ in collaboration with @atelierx.design for a very special project 🖤

Help me pick~ Working on a very fun bedroom and I’m debating between these three layouts🤭
Here are my thoughts behind each one:
LAYOUT A
I love that it’s close to the bathroom, with one consolidated circulation path. The bedroom area feels zoned out in its own little world, and the half-wall design keeps the space feeling open.
LAYOUT B
I love that you see the view right when you walk in. I also like that there’s a desk and some closet space immediately upon entry, but it is a bit farther from the bathroom.
LAYOUT C
You enter and see the bed immediately, which feels good from a Feng Shui perspective. I also love that there’s an opportunity to create a really beautiful back-office moment.
What do you think?

The decision to go dark in our bedroom was the best decision I’ve made 🤎 I’m loving the quietness it brings, with just enough drama, the way I like it
Also found the cutest chair from Facebook marketplace a week before this shoot and it was so perfect😍

Feng Shui has always been a big part of my life growing up. My family cares deeply about it, and because of that, I naturally bring it into my practice and into the conversations I have with my clients.
I created this Feng Shui Room by Room Checklist because I believe everyone deserves to live in a space that supports them and brings intention to their daily life. So if you’re curious, I’d love to invite you to download this freebie. I hope this checklist helps you transform your space and create a better flow.
Comment “checklist” and I’ll send it to you! It’s also linked in my bio

My partner once told me I was running my business like a passion project. It stung, because they weren’t wrong.
As a perfectionist, I spend so much time thinking about what’s not enough, what still needs work, and what I could’ve done better. When you care deeply, it’s easy to get stuck there.
But sometimes I forget to step back and look at what I’ve actually built. While I’m overthinking and doubting myself behind the scenes, someone else might be looking at my life or my work wondering how I did it all.
Still learning how to hold both: the drive to keep improving, and the ability to recognize how far I’ve already come.
If you’re in that space too, you’re not alone.
My take on tile floors in the kitchen 🌞 I get a lot of questions from my friends and family asking about interior design questions in private. Should I start answering them in public?!
