What do you consider successful design?

Knowing I have empowered my clients to take ownership of their dreams, so they can say upon completion of a design project that it went beyond their expectations. More importantly, that there is no trace of my personality in their home – only theirs.

How does your design process begin?

Listening. Actually hearing and seeing (through emotion) what clients need and want and being able to discern the difference.

What do you feel is your responsibility as a designer?

To always provide functional, beautiful design and to continually keep clients informed throughout the design process enabling them to make decisions with confidence.
