When designing a house, I like to keep the integrity of the architecture and the interior design. The most joyous part of my art is knowing that by using design elements, I can create a space that reflects the lifestyle of the homeowners and that, at the same time, elevates their spirit and transforms their home into a sanctuary. In the past 18 years, I have had the pleasure of utilizing my design background to complete a variety of projects, whether that be working side-by-side with an architect to demolish and redesign a 7k sq. feet home, or working with builders and assisting homeowners to design one room at a time. It is my belief that design is the presentation of your lifestyle to the world. It is an art. The 20th century artist Henri Matisse said it best: “Art should delight, inspire and enhance our lives as human beings and the art of art, or design, is the balance or purity and serenity devoid of troubling or depressing subject matter.” That is what great design does.
