About
I fell in love with interior design at a young age. Somewhere between Sunday morning sketches and stacks of design books, I started noticing that a room could hold a whole life inside it. Not just furniture, but memory, history, joy, and the specific taste of someone who'd actually lived there.
That noticing turned into training, and I earned a degree in Interior Design with a minor in Business at Florida State University. My time outside of the studio was shaped by a summer studying in Spain and the travel it opened up across Europe, and an internship at Champalimaud Design in New York.
I am deeply inspired by the romance of life, and find real interest in art, antiques, travel, and style as lenses for expressing that romance.
I am drawn to interiors that are layered and romantic, collected and restrained — work that holds beauty and purpose in equal measure, and tells a story that belongs entirely to the people living inside it.
I approach my work with precision and real attention to detail, and I'm looking to build that eye further under the mentorship of people whose taste and discipline I trust.

The Courcelle
THE SQUARE MILE, LONDON
The City of London is defined by duality. Ancient lanes wind between glass towers. Medieval walls stand beside trading floors. Global finance moves through streets shaped by centuries of commerce, craft, and quiet human life. Most contemporary interiors ignore this depth entirely. The Courcelle does not.
The Ledger brings order: spatial clarity, disciplined geometry, a quiet sense of purpose. The Lark brings soul: botanical detail, considered texture, rooms that feel lived in rather than arrived at. The two are not in conflict. They are, in fact, the point. Even in the world's hardest financial district, something fragile and alive still sings.

Tavern that sits just beyond.
Welcome to The Courcelle. Located at the interesection of bustling Cornhill and historic Birchin Lane, the lobby greets guests with equal parts strength and awe, and a glimspe of streetlevel Birchin
House
THE LARK & THE LEDGER
Inspired by the duality of structure and softness, seen in the City's financial harshness as the Ledger and its pockets of lush life as the Lark, and carried through in The Courcelle's ordered architecture and botanical ornamentation.
The City is yours.

COURTYARD COCKTAILS
"Somewhere between a conservatory and a very good idea."
Bar Linden opens with the courtyard in warm weather and draws inward around velvet and marble when the evenings turn... the kind of room that rewards the guests willing to stay past the first drink.

BIRCHIN HOUSE TAVERN
"Come as you are; the Birchin House has seen worse and welcomed them warmly." Street level, its own door off the lane. Walk in straight from Birchin, or wander in from the hotel. Come for coffee under the stained glass, stay long enough that the same seat is pouring you the Merchant's Ledger by the time the sun's gone.

"The City may keep its schedules; Marlowe keeps better company." The windows are tall enough to watch the street hurry past without ever feeling rushed by it. Order the ribeye, stay for a second glass you didn't plan on. Book ahead.

Berry Hill
JOHN'S CREEK, GEORGIA
Berry Hill was designed for Robert and Elaine, inspired by their childhood memories. The home draws from memories of berry cobbler fresh from the oven, gardens spilling beyond the porch, and evenings that lingered around the table long after dinner had ended. Those moments shaped a home built for comfort and craftsmanship, with a soft nod to Southern tradition.
Federal in spirit and Georgian in proportion, the architecture provides a graceful framework for interiors layered with botanical wallpapers, painted millwork, unlacquered brass, and natural materials that grow richer with age. Designed for gathering rather than grandeur, Berry Hill celebrates the quiet rituals that make a house worth remembering.

Inspired by the warmth & nostalgia of fresh berries, warm cobbler, Georgia peaches, and summers spent at Grandma's.

Bluebird Lane
AIKEN, SOUTH CAROLINA
Named for the Eastern Bluebird, a cherished symbol of joy, family, and renewal, Bluebird Lane was designed for retired couple Randy and Valerie Williams as a forever home for their next chapter. Inspired by a lifetime of gardening, quilting, music, and welcoming loved ones, the design celebrates the traditions that have long defined their lives while creating a setting where new memories can continue to unfold.
Classical architecture and timeless materials establish a sense of longevity, while universal design principles are integrated throughout the home. Designed to age as gracefully as the memories created within it, Bluebird Lane celebrates a life well lived and a home built to welcome generations.

FURNITURE, LIGHTING & MILLWORK
The character of a home is often found in the pieces created specifically for it. Whether a hand-carved occasional table, a thoughtfully detailed chair, or a sculptural pendant, custom furnishings bring unique personality to a space.
This collection explores custom furniture, lighting, and millwork through a series of bespoke designs developed from early concept sketch through material study, technical drawing, and, ultimately, fabrication. Each piece began as a question of proportion and use, then moved through considerations of material, joinery, and finish before arriving at its final form. Together, they reflect an interest in designing interiors as complete environments, down to every detail.

ARCHITECTURAL DOCUMENTATION
Historic buildings tell their story through proportion, craftsmanship, and detail. Documenting Eppes Hall required slowing down to study those qualities, translating centuries-old architectural language into clear, precise digital drawings.
The process involved reconstructing the entrance façade through measured observation and disciplined linework, paying close attention to masonry coursing, ornamental stonework, and classical composition. Beyond strengthening technical drafting skills, the exercise developed appreciation for the enduring principles that continue to inform thoughtful residential architecture today.

FACADE DRAWING
Eppes Hall
Home to Florida State University's College of Criminology and Criminal Justice, Eppes Hall, renamed The Criminology and Criminal Justice Building in 2021, is built in the Jacobean Revival style. Many buildings across campus are built in this style, and its characteristics can be seen in the Jacobean arches, flat roof hidden behind crenellated parapets, and ornamental details of Eppes Hall. First opened in 1918, the building was originally home to the Education Department at was what the Florida State

REFLECTED CEILING PLANS
Lighting is one of the least visible yet most influential architectural elements. It defines mood, establishes rhythm, and subtly directs the way people inhabit a space long before furnishings are introduced.
These reflected ceiling plans demonstrate the coordination required to integrate lighting, ceiling conditions, and architectural features into a cohesive whole. Developed for hospitality and workplace environments, the drawings prioritize both technical precision and spatial composition, illustrating how thoughtful documentation becomes the framework for beautifully executed interiors.
