Ever since I was a child growing up in Boston, I knew color was powerful and I wanted to play with it and be immersed in it, just breathe it in. I could not have explained it then, because it was simply second nature to me. Fast forward to post college in Rhode Island, when I followed one of my sisters to Maine. It was here that I met and began my apprenticeship with renowned interior designer, Christine Maclin. A wildly talented and generous teacher, I still find her design philosophies at the root of my own and I remain so grateful for my time with her.

Light, with its innate warmth and energy, set me into motion. As a young girl, I can recall chasing the sunny spot on the floor and watching the light cast brilliant rainbows across the room from a prism hanging in the window. It was this notion of light moving through and defining our experience in space that ultimately inspired my journey to spatial design. With over 15 year’s experience in the design industry, ranging from home construction and retail design across New England, to residential estate design management in Los Angeles, I have been fortunate enough to be exposed to every aspect of architecture, from the grandest blueprint to the most intricate detail.
