When you work with an agent like everything is top notch. Always love being apart of her team with staging and design. I also love I always get to work with the incredible and their team of talent. They always capture my work the best….. because they’re the best! Another one in the books, again so thankful for the trust Hanah and her clients put into me! I always do my best work when you just trust and let me do my thing! It’s an artist thing!

It’s hard for me not to take my work personally, because I’ve never approached design as “just a job.” Every project I take on carries a piece of me within it. It’s never been about the cost, the profit, or the recognition. This is my art. It’s how I create, how I connect, and what brings me genuine joy.

I pour myself into the spaces and environments I design because I care deeply about how they make people feel. Every detail matters to me. The work is personal because I am reflected in all of it. I think the depth of that connection is something only other creatives truly understand.

I’ve experienced darkness, grief, fear, and loss throughout much of my life, and creativity became the place where I learned to transform those experiences into something meaningful. Through my work, I create the feelings of warmth, beauty, comfort, and emotion that I lost at a young age. In many ways, I’m healing that younger version of myself every time I create.

That’s why this will never feel like “just business” to me. It never has, and it never will. It’s very personal.

My design process is thoughtful and layered, beginning with an initial meeting where I collaborate closely with clients to understand their vision, needs, and lifestyle. From there, the planning and development of the design concept begins. I spend countless hours sourcing, curating, and refining selections, carefully visualizing each element until the story feels cohesive and complete.
One of my greatest joys is translating these ideas into a visual presentation, allowing clients to truly see and feel what we are creating together. Once decisions are finalized, orders are placed, finishes are installed, and the design begins to come to life — paint and wallpaper transform blank walls, and each detail finds its place.
I feel incredibly fortunate to do what I do. The trust my clients place in me is deeply rewarding, and I approach every project with both care and genuine excitement. This is a current project I’ve just begun, and I cannot wait to share the finished result. It’s going to be truly beautiful.

Wrapping up the 2025 Season! Today was my last day before I come back in the New Year! I am starting 2026 with 3 continuing projects, and starting 4 new ones. 1 possibly a year long project! Stay Tuned…. She’s a whopper at almost 16,000 sq feet on 3 acres!!!!! Did I mention we are doing a complete overhaul to include a full outside design!!!!
I really was hoping to slow roll back but…. Ya know!
Huge thank you to my amazing Clients! For welcoming me into your homes, all the love and all the appreciation! I definitely come at my design in true artist form… I can be stubborn or persistent when I really want to pull something together the way I see it in my head and it takes a lot of trust to let me do my thang! I am so grateful to my clients for giving me that artistic freedom! So far no complaints…. So it’s been a good ride!!! But seriously… I get so much JOY making my clients happy and being apart of them making their homes! I get to leave a piece of me and I am hoping the love and good energy I try to put into all my work is felt for years and years to come!

Hoping to wrap up Phase One of this space tomorrow and I’m honestly so damn excited. I started working with this client back in mid-October, right after they moved into their new house. The goal? Turn this house into their HOME.
Like any project, there were a few bumps, some pivots, and the usual delays—but sometimes the changes make it even better. And seeing this part finally come to life? Worth it. I’m proud as hell of this transformation.
Huge shoutout to with Golden Services 🙌 There’s nothing better than working with a contractor who gets hyped about your wild ideas and takes just as much pride in the work as you do. Hamzeh, your crew absolutely crushed it.
And to my client—thank you for trusting me with your home. It’s been such an honor being part of your family’s journey of truly coming HOME 🤍
Bring on the new year… Phase Two, let’s go. 🔥
