A lived-in approach to thoughtful design.
Across every day life, experiences, and events in the Hudson Valley.
I believe life is meant to be lived with intention, not rushed or perfected.
Across every day living, shared experiences including retreats, and thoughtfully produced events, I bring together spaces and moments that feel grounded, personal, and deeply human. Rooted in years of living and working between the Hudson Valley and Cape Cod, my perspective reflects a slow living, intentional approach shaped by home, gathering, and meaningful experiences. Often described as a tastemaker and designer, I’m guided less by trends and more by creating environments and moments that evolve naturally over time.

My Story
I live a life shaped by place, time, and the spaces we return to every day.
For nearly three decades, my home in the Hudson Valley has been my anchor — where I raised my family, learned the rhythms of the seasons, and grew into a slower, more sustainable way of living.
Long before my work had a name, I was hosting, gardening, and creating spaces that felt welcoming and personal, guided by instinct and care. Years in events deepened that understanding, reminding me that people simply want to feel seen, relaxed, and at home.
I'm drawn to a collected life — one shaped by intention rather than constant reinvention. Where the good things are used every day, layered over time, and lived with fully.
