The Interior Design Myth I Couldn’t Buy (So I Rewrote It)
You’ve been told a beautiful home takes your life savings—or at least feels that way—plus elite taste and a gut job, or it’s a flop. I call BS. I’ve seen clients with zilch turn heart—your heart—into magic. I’m here to dig that out, one true space at a time.
From Design “Yes” to Doubt Detox (My Wake-Up Call)
I checked the boxes—degree, fancy projects, picture-perfect rooms. But it rang hollow.
Clients left second-guessing every pick, caught in a loop I couldn’t stomach. The industry’s organized process—palette picked, plan signed, furniture shipped—is tidy, sure, and great for business, but it’s cold for you.
Process isn’t the enemy— skimming the surface is.
Designers swoop in, flex trust me, I’m the expert, hand you a style, and bolt—leaving a space that’s theirs, or some cookie-cutter clone, not yours.
No one asks: What fits your life? What lasts years later? How do you quiet the overthinking? Why do you even want this?
We’re not therapists—I get it, we’re not paid to dive that deep.
But here’s the thing: we all feel that itch, that gap, and shrug it off.
My people—overthinkers, curious souls—weren’t style-less—they were swamped by doubt, drowned in options, lost when the experts left. One client ditched a must-have chair for her thrift gem and lit up—her, not an expert’s echo. That’s when it clicked: the fix is real, personal, raw. Designers moan about it but stay shallow—I had to shift gears and rewrite the rules.
And that’s when it finally clicked
The problem wasn’t their taste, budget, or ‘vision.’
It was the industry training them to second-guess.
We don’t need ‘perfect’ spaces—we need homes that extend us, aligned and livable. So I walked away from the rigid, gatekept design world that profits off your doubt.
I built a process to kill regret and validation hunts—so you create a home that’s you.
What I Believe (And Why It Might Ruffle Feathers)
Experts say your home’s not good unless it’s flawless and they call the shots. Second-guess? Step aside. I don’t buy it.
Design isn’t trends—it’s how you live. No more showroom spaces that look great in photos but feel dead up close.
You don’t need a big budget—just a space that’s yours. No waiting until you “can afford” to make it feel like home.
Ditch the décor pile-ups. Trust your gut. You don’t need more stuff—you need clarity on what fits you.
Your home should be a deep exhale—not a test you fail. You’re not bad at this. The system that profits from your doubt is.
Mind spinners, curious souls, and ‘did I pick right?’ people get stuck—told their doubt means they’re clueless. I’m here to prove it’s not true. One client skipped a trendy grey sofa back when it was hot, kept her thrifted chair, and loves it—while trend-chasers regret it. I won’t leave you lost in fear and overbuying—designers can grumble all they want.
This Is Interior Design for the Rest of Us
I’m here for the mind spinners, the curious souls, the ‘did I pick right?’ crowd—not to box you into someone else’s plan, but to…
Figure out what matters—your days, not a shiny fake.
Put you in charge—your call, not mine.
Keep it real—your ideas, your love, no fancy cover-up.
One client had a loud, bold gift she wasn’t sure about keeping. ‘Should I stash it?’ she asked, worried about the colors. ‘No way—it’s yours,’ I said. ‘Let’s put it out there.’ Now it’s the star of her room. Truth? You’ve got what it takes. No fancy ideas or approval needed—just go with it.
