I have held this delightful feature close to my heart since the beginning of April, quietly turning as it’s a now treasured keepsake. I found myself wondering whether to share such a meaningful honor, or to keep it nestled among those who have walked beside me—each in their own way—throughout this journey. But how could I not share such an amazing achievement.
This has been no ordinary path, but rather a remarkable and winding adventure—a dream shaped by perseverance and a steadfast desire to share with the world my love of designing spaces. Spaces that are not only beautiful, but that feel extraordinary to inhabit; that function with intention, and mostly offer a sense of comfort and safety. 

To be seen, celebrated and appreciated—for my spirit, my imagination, and the creative mind and soul that guides my work—is a gift beyond measure. To be trusted by extraordinary clients, many of whom have become dear friends, is an honor I hold deeply. And to receive recognition such as this feature in Architectural Digest… well, it is something that still feels almost too wondrous to put into words.
To all who have believed in me—who have trusted my process, encouraged my dreams, extended their patience, and offered their inspiration—please know that this moment belongs to you as well. Whether you have stood close beside me or now cheer from afar, your presence has been a guiding force along the way. For your kindness, words of encouragement, and each gesture of faith, thank you so very much! ❤️ Thank you archdigest for this opportunity and feature of one of my most favorite renovations #thornwoodhousereno and most of all thank you to bmal916 for trusting me to turn your 4 year dream into reality. Working with you on the journey to your new home was unforgettable. Great things do come in small packages and sometimes can take a great amount of time too. This was well worth all the work and wait. ❤️ xxoo
