For decades, nature has been a huge influence on my interior design work. As a starting point, I pay close attention to what meets the eye outside and beyond the interior walls of any given building. I firmly believe that the best of interior design pays artistic reverence to its environment and location in equal measure to form and function. Marrying the outside with the inside while balancing the character of any given home and the needs of my guests, are important considerations for me as a designer.
 

Water settings have been one of my greatest loves and design influences for decades – oceans and bays, lakes and rivers particularly, are the places I am drawn to most and where I find I am most at home in my work. I have developed an aesthetic that is described by many as: “Crisp, clean lines with a fresh color palette - where luxurious modern meets whimsical coastal.”

As bizarre as it may sound, exploring the northeastern coast of Maine coming from the San Francisco Bay Area and the Pacific Ocean, was always on my designer bucket list. I was drawn to Brooklin and the Blue Hill Peninsula particularly. World-renowned for its wooden boat building, maritime history, and exquisite natural beauty, it became one of the areas I visited over and over again in search of my next project.
 

When I first came across Brooklin House, it was love at first sight for me! Walking out to the point and standing inside the home looking out at Herrick Bay, was a sensory overload that made my heart sing and my creative juices flow. I knew this was where I wanted to be to create my next destination vacation home.
