From where do you draw most of your inspiration?
Travel. The landscapes, the colors, the customs and styles of our world move me to create designs that reflect their richness. I love mixing textiles, patterns and textures in a space; these offer depth and interest.
What drives you to design?
A couple of things. One is the creativity that comes with understanding the needs and preferences of a client while creating a space that is beautiful, customized, and comfortable. The other is the satisfaction that comes from experiencing a well designed room; it just makes people feel good.
Tell us your biggest design secret:
My design "secret" is lighting. Lighting makes all the difference. A poorly illuminated space can really ruin any design, no matter how good it is. My friends marvel at how many different types of lighting I have in my home; they also appreciate it.
