Good design is not always about buying new furniture or making big changes. Sometimes, it comes down to knowing what to keep, what to move, and how to make a room work better with what is already there. This is the approach I have developed over more than 15 years of making rented homes feel more comfortable and personal.
My work focuses on helping readers make practical design choices. I write about room planning, furniture placement, natural materials, affordable decor updates, and ways to bring warmth into everyday spaces.
My background in Interior Design from Parsons School of Design, along with a certificate in Landscape Architecture from The City College of New York, has also shaped my practical approach to design. I consider not just the decor, but also how light, materials, proportions, and movement shape the way a space looks and feels.
I spend a lot of my free time redecorating, browsing mood boards, or wandering through little galleries. I also collect vintage postcards; have quite a stack of them by now, each with its own little story.
