  Projects in bloom......................
 
Projects in bloom illustrates the process of design. A story board or inspiration piece can set the tone for the design process as it begins to take shape. The transformation is rarely the same from one project to the next. The freshness, and often the challenge, of each is always engaging. Below I've provided links to a number of projects that show working examples of the services I offer.
 
Residential interior
design
When creating an interior space I like to consider the way my client’s senses respond to specific design details. Whether I'm designing a whole house, or a single room, the basic design principles still apply. It's a collaborative effort that begins with the client.
 
New construction &
remodeling
Building a new home, or remodeling an existing one, can be an overwhelming task. Prior planning is key. Design elements in everyday living can get lost in the architecture. I help clients foresee possible design and material selection mistakes.

Flooring design and
installation
Although the floor is often the single biggest element of a room, it often gets overlooked. Floors set the stage, the foundation for your design. I help clients identify thoughtful flooring selections, balancing function and style.
 
Real estate staging We are all aware of the difficulties in selling real estate in today's market. If your home is for sale in this competitive environment, it's critical to differentiate it from the others. I can help you cost effectively accentuate the positive features of your home, while at the same time minimize its liabilities.
 
Rental furnishings Design is a passion. I realize that in today’s busy work climate there are temporary needs to furnish a corporate apartment or transitional housing. Recently I worked with families affected by the San Diego wildfires. I provided rental furnishings that were coordinated, accessorized, and gave families a place to feel at home. Even temporary housing can be elegant.
 
Specialty furnisings &
accessories
As a designer, I often create custom furnishings and accessories for my clients. This creative process allows me to find “just the right piece” to customize a space. I currently have a number 100% original, meticulously restored, vintage chairs available for sale.
