My obsession with spaces began with a master's thesis on the social meaning of staircases in French royal châteaux — the idea that architecture was a tool in a leader's arsenal to convey values and personal ideals while inspiring awe in their subjects. Beautiful decoration was not merely ornamental. It was a critical tool used to inspire all of those who visited these chateaux to behave differently in the social hierarchy of early modern France. In this spirit, I remain convinced that interior design is the most powerful way to change one’s daily life.

I studied architectural history and architecture at Columbia and designed with beloved mentors at Berman Horn Studio and Jocelyn O. Dickson Architecture before branching out on my own. I design for clients who care about the preservation of our environments (manmade and natural) and the handmade — tile, textiles, custom millwork, objects with quirks and patina and a past. My current obsessions are Swedish rag rugs, Guillerme et Chambron furniture, and vintage Josef Frank textiles. I’m currently working on a beloved 1744 brick building on the Maine coast, a well-loved off-grid island house from the 1860s, a new build on Nantucket, and a special Nordic spa hotel in Rangeley.

When I'm not designing, I’m toting around my husband and son to antique dealers and auctions, shooting on film, gardening (dahlias! snapdragons!) or painting the Maine landscape in watercolor and pastel. Get in touch!
