In my career, I have helped so many people meet transitions in their lives with sensitive design choices. The empty nesters, the first time homeowners. Even a client with a terminal illness who entrusted me with helping to create a sunny space for her final months. And, of course, I’ve helped some newlyweds along the way.

I commissioned Brianna Camp to create this painting of my mom and dad from one of their wedding photos. I love that it captures one of Mom’s few unguarded moments of silliness. She was a fun-loving person, but she generally froze up in front of a camera. I never liked her wedding veil, but decided to have it depicted as it was. Its drunken shape makes them look so goofy and sweet and naive, something I cherish about this picture.

I like helping people navigate those transitions, giving them peace of mind that, with my training, taste and experience, we are going to create the perfect setting for their next act.

A trip to DC to protest fascism included a visit to the Hirshhorn, where the storytelling in the current exhibits did not disappoint. The power that artists have to convey complex emotions and concepts never fails to inspire awe.
