To all my cherished clients, incredible vendors, and dear industry friends,
I’m writing to share some exciting news: I am officially retiring!
This journey in interior design has been nothing short of amazing. The privilege of being welcomed into your homes to create a touch of magic is a profound honor I will always treasure. Along the way, we’ve learned about your lives, shared countless moments, and built relationships that have enriched me deeply. Few things have been as rewarding as hearing from a favorite client, ready to embark on yet another project together!
Looking back on my 50-year career, it has been an extraordinary evolution. From my early days as a neighborhood babysitter, marina boutique clerk, and even a Hickory Farms “cheese wiz” during school, to two decades spent in retail buying, store management, and working with vendors—it has all shaped me. Then, in 2005, I embarked on this incredible design journey. Twenty years later, I can say without hesitation that it has been one of the greatest gifts of my life.
But now, it’s time for the next chapter! Art, travel, and passion projects are calling my name, and I’m eager to give them the time and energy they deserve.
Thank you to everyone in the industry for your incredible support. Over the next two months, as we put the finishing touches on some amazing projects, I’m confident you’ll continue to help us navigate this next transition.
For those wonderful clients looking ahead to your next project (and I have a list of you!), Cecile and Courtney will reach out once they’ve finalized their next exciting ventures.
With gratitude and love,
Starr
