Interior Design & Styling, Travel & Entertaining

Love building rooms from a blank canvas, wanting to develop rooms that help people have a space to escape to without needing to leave their home. My next area of design and styling will be the outside - landscaping which involves learning about plants.


I have always fantasied about traveling the world and meeting people and learning how they entertain at home.

I have been lucky to have travelled all over Europe and the UK. Next on the list is Scandinavia.
