Fairfield County homes have always demanded more than surface design. So have I.
Fairfield County is not a generic luxury market. Its homes have architectural character — classic colonials, coastal properties, mid-century residences, and sophisticated new construction — and its homeowners have discerning taste built from decades of exposure to exceptional design. They know the difference between something that looks expensive and something that actually works.
I've been designing homes in Fairfield County for more than thirty years. I understand its architectural range, its builders, its light, and the specific way its families live — across seasons, across generations, and across the full complexity of what a high-functioning home actually requires.
What thirty years in this market actually means for your project.
It means I've worked alongside the architects and builders you're likely already talking to. It means I've seen what goes wrong when design decisions get made too late and what happens when they're made right. It means I know the difference between a New Canaan new build and a Westport colonial — and I design for both with the same depth of thinking and technical fluency.
Every project is personally led by me. No handoffs. No junior staff running your project while I run someone else's. You work directly with the expertise you're paying for, from the first conversation to the final reveal.
Three ways to work together.
Whether you need focused expert guidance on a specific decision, a complete design plan to execute on your own timeline, or a fully managed experience from concept to installation — there's a clear path forward for where you are right now.

Thirty years designing Fairfield County homes. Still principal-led. Still hands-on.
This is the market where I built my practice. The homes here — colonials, coastal properties, renovations, new builds — shaped how I think about interior architecture and what it means to design for the way a family actually lives over time, not just the way a home photographs at the moment of completion.
My work has been featured in Fairfield County publications and recognized within the design community here.
But what matters more than recognition is the client who walks into her finished home and feels exactly what she hoped it would feel like. That's the standard I've held for thirty years in this market. It doesn't change.
