I grew up in a creative household. My mother was an architecture major, and my father worked for Strathmore, so art and design were part of everyday life. I started at the Cleveland Institute of Art but later transferred to UMass Amherst to be closer to home in Western Massachusetts.

I’ve been an independent color consultant in the Valley for over 25 years, balancing my passion for design with raising my three sons. I bring energy to every project and get completely immersed in it. Every space has potential, and my job is to help clients bring it to life.

My approach to design is about more than just picking out a sofa. I teach clients to see their space as a whole. It’s all about color, shape, and form—and how they interact.

Design is like solving a puzzle. I love to dive into conversations about how someone lives in their space. Functionality is the foundation, but I also gently push clients out of their comfort zone. It’s always a collaborative effort to create a space that truly reflects them. For me, it's about creating homes that feel authentic and inspiring every day.
