More About Me

Would you say you have a certain style?

I am a modernist at heart. I love the architectural interior detailing of a minimalist aesthetic – flush detailing, recessed and hidden lighting, integration of strong spatial planning that encompasses a use of natural daylight through out a space, frame less glazing, floor to ceiling windows, minimum material transitions … “less is more”. I believe in a refined yet livable styling approach where the client’s personality and lifestyle is seamless with every item in the home from the furniture, accessories to art. A strong concept that provides a clear direction and consistency through out while allowing the subtle changes of lifestyle to be integrated. “Creating a place” for all that is new and old.

What design trends are most interesting to you?

I don’t believe in following design trends as with most trends being temporary and eventually dated. I believe in good design to be timeless and simple. I believe in providing a process of editing and refining a client’s interior environment to reflect their lifestyle & personality.

Besides work, what are other things you are passionate about?

As a freelance consultant and a modern information resource, my passion for sourcing solutions for all types of projects has evolved into my personal design blog. Continuing to nurture my passion and thirst for knowledge, I will further develop my resource data base and expand my network of contacts with industry leaders. My goals include an effort to create a universal online resource that will help educate the public on the value and impact of good modern design and to create the relationships necessary to implement design community projects for improving environmental awareness.
