Luckily, I had a cool mom, and she would show off my drawings for a while, rather than paint over them. My interest in design came in college. I went to the Savannah College of Art and Design. There I started in photography, and then my architect brother pushed me to try interior design. I immediately loved it and never looked back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/interior-designer-spotlight-on-classic-bedroom.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-12578\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/interior-designer-spotlight-on-classic-bedroom.jpg\" alt=\"interior designer spotlight on classic bedroom\" class=\"wp-image-12578\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/interior-designer-spotlight-on-classic-bedroom.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/interior-designer-spotlight-on-classic-bedroom-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/interior-designer-spotlight-on-classic-bedroom-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/interior-designer-spotlight-on-classic-bedroom-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How would you define your design style?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It changes all the time. I really like eclectic designs, but I also have an appreciation for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/10-best-tips-for-creating-beautiful-modern-interior-design\/\">modern<\/a> and sophisticated look. Also, I think the eclectic feeling comes from the artist in me. I love funky art pieces and accessories. I enjoy the little details in a room that make it feel homier and less rigid. My design style usually depends on anything that gives me the opportunity to be creative and seek inspiration from a wide range of things.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"decorilla-newvideo-row\">\n    <a href=\"\/online-interior-design-process?from=blog--bannerhowitworks&pi=MTI1NjY=\">\n        <video class=\"desktop-video\" autoplay loop muted playsinline width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\">\n            <source src=\"https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/how-it-works-banner-desktop-v2.mp4\" type=\"video\/mp4\">\n            <source src=\"https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/how-it-works-banner-desktop-v2.mp4\" type=\"video\/webm\">\n            Your browser does not support the video tag.\n        <\/video>\n        <video class=\"mobile-video\" autoplay loop muted playsinline width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\">\n            <source src=\"https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/how-it-works-banner-mobile-v3.mp4\" type=\"video\/mp4\">\n            <source src=\"https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/how-it-works-banner-mobile-v3.mp4\" type=\"video\/webm\">\n            Your browser does not support the video tag.\n        <\/video>\n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n    .mobile-video { display: none; }\n    @media (max-width: 767px) {\n        .desktop-video { display: none; }\n        .mobile-video { display: block; }\n    }\n<\/style>\n<script>\n    document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {\n        const mobileVideo = document.querySelector('.mobile-video');\n        const desktopVideo = document.querySelector('.desktop-video');\n\n        function handleVideoAutoplay(video, name) {\n            if (!video) return;\n\n            \/\/ Try to play immediately\n            video.play().catch(function(error) {\n                console.log(name + ' video autoplay failed:', error);\n\n                \/\/ If autoplay fails, try again after user interaction\n                const playOnInteraction = function() {\n                    video.play().catch(console.log);\n                    document.removeEventListener('touchstart', playOnInteraction);\n                    document.removeEventListener('click', playOnInteraction);\n                };\n\n                document.addEventListener('touchstart', playOnInteraction, { once: true });\n                document.addEventListener('click', playOnInteraction, { once: true });\n            });\n\n            \/\/ Also try to play when video is ready\n            video.addEventListener('loadeddata', function() {\n                video.play().catch(console.log);\n            });\n        }\n\n        handleVideoAutoplay(mobileVideo, 'Mobile');\n        handleVideoAutoplay(desktopVideo, 'Desktop');\n    });\n<\/script>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/modern-living-from-interior-designer-spotlight.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-12582\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/modern-living-from-interior-designer-spotlight.jpg\" alt=\"modern living from interior designer spotlight\" class=\"wp-image-12582\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/modern-living-from-interior-designer-spotlight.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/modern-living-from-interior-designer-spotlight-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/modern-living-from-interior-designer-spotlight-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/modern-living-from-interior-designer-spotlight-1024x576.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Who or what influences your work?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a tough one!

Seeing the whole building come together with all of the furniture and trimmings at the end was incredible, and I learned a ton.

I do this in addition to a commercial interior design job. Online interior design provides me with more opportunities to do fun little one-off rooms. In the commercial world, jobs can take years to complete, and sometimes you&#8217;re stuck just documenting the building for a very long time. Online interior design is a break to do the fun stuff consistently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/start\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1109\" height=\"713\" src=\"https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/transitional-interior-design-service.png\" alt=\"transitional interior design service\" class=\"wp-image-10546\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/transitional-interior-design-service.png 1109w, https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/transitional-interior-design-service-300x193.png 300w, https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/transitional-interior-design-service-768x494.png 768w, https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/transitional-interior-design-service-1024x658.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1109px) 100vw, 1109px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Loved this interior designer spotlight?
