DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
Beautiful rooms are the organic result of great planning. The careful placement of a nail head trim, soft light on a linen texture, the satin sheen of a hardwood floor, all evoke a special sense of place. I'm most interested in creating rooms that tell the intricate stories of those who live, work or play in them.

SPECIALTIES
Services range from hourly consultation to full service project management. Space planning is a specialty. Allow me to suggest a fresh intuitive way of using your room. The selection of fabric and furniture, color and custom detailing are all carefully coordinated. Residential, light commercial, vacation homes, urban lofts, aging in place.

FEE METHODS
Hourly or hourly plus commission. Complimentary consultation at MDC studio. Please call ahead. Referral bonus program.

COMPLIMENTARY CONSULTATION
Yes
