ABOUT
01
Where the
Eye Started
Years spent studying paintings taught me that every successful composition depends on intention—where the eye goes first, what holds its attention, and what is left out. That discipline of looking closely has shaped every stage of my career.
I studied Art History at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and Graphic Design at Massachusetts College of Art and Design. I still approach every interior the way I once approached an editorial page—with clarity, restraint, and purpose.

balanced
design
My background in graphic design naturally evolved into textile design, where I explored pattern, color, and scale through a different medium.
The idea for Balanced Design, the home décor studio I founded, took shape during a trip to Paris. Inspired by a culture that valued thoughtful consumption, craftsmanship, and objects made to last, I built a studio focused on environmentally responsible textiles, rugs, and home furnishings with a distinctly modern point of view.
I believed sustainable design could be bold, colorful, and contemporary—so I combined modern pattern with a commitment to American craftsmanship, working locally with makers and mills close to home. That work was recognized early: I was invited to participate in the hauteGREEN exhibition and panel discussion in New York, and Inhabitat named the exhibition's designers among its "75 Emerging Stars of Green Design."

From Studio
to Interiors
Over the years, Balanced Design expanded into custom commissions and collaborations—including bespoke fabric for Hunt Yachts—along with work with architects and interior designers, hospitality projects, and collections that debuted at ICFF in New York.
Working across textiles, furnishings, and interiors taught me how materials behave in a room—the way texture, color, scale, and proportion influence the feeling of a space. Those lessons continue to inform the way I approach styling today.

From interiors
to images
A photograph isn't the room—
it's a decision about the room.
Styling is not simply arranging what's already there. It is knowing what deserves attention, what competes for it, what needs to be edited, and what should disappear altogether.
Interior designers bring years of thought and intention to their spaces. My role is to help translate that vision through the camera—refining details, sourcing elements when needed, and creating a composition that feels authentic rather than overly styled.
Photographers value another experienced eye on set—someone who understands how materials photograph, notices distractions before they become part of the frame, and can make thoughtful decisions quickly.
Design matters—every shoot is a chance to prove it.
