About
My philosophy is light, warmth and small details. I believe these elements can elevate your space with minimal intrusion and cost.
I can market your home at every level (listing/photograpy/décor) to set you apart from the competition. Let me help you rent or sell your home quickly! “Light & Bright” sells!
Recent Projects:
I infused light and warmth to an empty Upper East Side apartment which aided in its recent rental. I marketed and staged my childhood home which sold in 4 days! I sourced and supervised a deep cleaning for a company last month, resulting in a total facelift for the office and a new weekly gig for the vendor. I chose the paint palette for an Upper West Side cooperative's interior last Fall. I create the holiday decorations for my building's apartment lobby annually.
Passion:
It is my passion to make things look beautiful - from fashion to food to home! I've always been told I have an "eye" for design. Many friends have sought after my guidance and advice for their own homes. I enjoy it so much, it never feels like work!
