About
I believe we were created to gather. My favorite moments include cocktails on a Carrara marble coffee table, eight friends crowded around a dining table meant for six, and stories that run long past dessert. A home should make room for all of it.
my manifesto
I design spaces for those who prioritize really living. I love seeing rooms shaped to how people really live: for the dinner parties, the Saturday night shindig and the slow Sunday mornings that follow.
I design spaces that are calm enough to rest in, sturdy enough for daily life, but personal enough that no one could mistake them for a page out of a catalog..

Hi there, i'm
At age 8 to be exact.
Rather than spending Fridays after school riding my bike or outside playing with my friends, I would be fully locked-in to the newest episode of House Hunters on HGTV.
(AKA just an opportunity to criticize adults four times my age about their flooring choices.)
Years later came my reckoning: with myself and with my career. I made the switch from an 11-year software career to pursue my life's passion of interior design and there was no looking back.
My love for interior design started early
The story behind McKinley Avenue
You can find me out at a live comedy show, trying a new varietal of wine, or at home on the couch with my feet kicked up.
When I'm not working
The Trastevere neighborhood in Rome, Italy. Need I say more?!
my happy place
My sweet girl Koda. Almost 11 years of being a professional cuddler, Thee Treat Queen™, and my favorite Capricorn.
A special place in my heart
