with a background in studio art and a love of design I opened one of the first green home furnishings boutiques in 1993.,. eco-fluence studios was located in a hip art enclave known as deep ellum in dallas., texas. we offered a mix of vintage furniture + accessories, european toiletries, aromatherapy and had a studio in the back which we held saturday workshops in mono-printing and floral design. by client request, we began designing and styling interiors and an interior design studio was born. surface design, custom props for local restaurants and window installations accompanied residential design. my personal interior design studio was founded in 1995. in Dallas, texas. and 10 years later relocated to los angeles, california in 2005.,
i believe Beauty can live within practicality and i pride myself in the art of enhancing lives through mindful attention to personal and functional custom design. in my practice I create environments that are beautiful, classic and clean while specializing in a wide range of styles.
i design lifestyle spaces that combine my clients' OBJECTIVES AND personalities. WHILE GENTLY NUDGING THEM OUTSIDE OF THEIR COMFORT ZONE TO ARTICULATE A SPACE THAT NOT ONLY SPEAKS TO THEM BUT ALSO DEFINES THEIR OWN PERSONAL STYLE.
a passion for PHOTOGRAPHY, art and nature brings a clarity to my work that translates into the language of materials, form, proportions and fabrication of architectural elements. my curiosity about the world and my wanderlust has taken me around the americas to Europe and Africa, expanding my visual library and style influences.
it has been said, "the journey is just as important as the destination" and I strive to provide a wonderful and meaningful experience for my client's that is stress free and filled with self-discovery. I look forward to working with you and designing the spaces of your dreams.
