“Whether my interiors are traditional or contemporary, they should appear as if they evolved over time, never too new, never over decorated and always exuding warmth and comfort. I take great pride and satisfaction in transforming a house into someone's home, a place that reflects the tastes, interests and lifestyle of the owners themselves, rather than a specific ‘decorator look.’ My job is to interpret
the client's needs and requirements from an objective, professional perspective. Communication and mutual respect between client and designer are the keys to a successful and harmonious project. When a client would rather spend time at home than any place else, I feel my job has been done well.”
