About
All of us live, work or play in interior spaces every day; these spaces should be designed to promote the well being of the people who use them. With a focus on residential interiors, WITHINTERIORS connects spaces with the people who occupy them through thoughtful and creative solutions exposing what is meant to be. The creative journey for each project requires the same approach but the solutions and outcomes are always different. It is through the art of communication where I develop an understanding of my client's desires for their project. That understanding unfolds as creative solutions and becomes a physical manifestation from all of the thoughts and ideas gleaned from the design process. What I enjoy the most is the expression of happiness and satisfaction from my clients when the project presents itself and provides them with what was missing and what is meant to be from WITHIN.
From a personal perspective, I enjoy the process and problem solving. Many of my clients already have homes brimming with eclectic collections of past and present items but are troubled by the lack of harmony. These projects are the most challenging as I am tasked with finding the missing link to make sense of it all and provide solutions that integrate styles in an aesthecially pleasing manner.
From a professional perspective, I enjoy the reaction my clients have to the completed design solution. It is pure validation for the work I do, and nothing makes me happier than my clients who love their new surroundings.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
It starts with a phone conversation, then a meeting. In this meeting I interview the homeowners, get to know their likes, dislikes. I take lots of notes, take pictures, get dimensions, any inspirations they may have. Next are administrative details, scope of work and letter of agreement. Once the details are in place, work begins. I create design concepts addressing the clients needs from flooring, furniture, paint, wallpaper, fabrics, lighting, art & accessories etc. These concepts are in the form of a digitial file providing vignettes of the spaces with the items needed. I source primarily from the internet and provide link access for the client to direct purchase. I also have contractors, flooring and cabientry companies I work with. I have found this system to be effective and efficient. The speed of the project is determined by the clients motivation for purchasing. The contractors build separately, however, I stay in touch through completion of the project.
