Interior Styling + Home Curation + Vintage Sourcing.

I believe a home should do more than look beautiful. It should feel good to live in. A thoughtfully designed space can calm the nervous system, invite us to slow down, and change the way we experience our everyday lives. That feeling is at the heart of Where Lovely Lives.

With over 20 years of experience as a photographer and a practice as a contemporary artist and painter, I’ve spent my life looking at the world through a visual lens. I’m drawn to the interplay of color, light, texture, proportion, and the unexpected details that make a space feel alive.

My approach blends vintage character with contemporary, artful design. I love the history and soul of pre-loved pieces, the thrill of finding something unexpected, and the way an old object can feel entirely new when placed in the right setting. I believe the most interesting homes aren’t manufactured from a catalog; they’re collected over time, layered with meaning, and deeply personal.

Biophilic design is a core principle of my practice. I’m inspired by the natural world and the ways organic materials, natural light, greenery, and a connection to nature can make us feel more grounded and at ease. I work with the architecture and character of a home rather than against it, creating spaces that feel harmonious, lived-in, and connected to the people who inhabit them.

I also believe transformation doesn’t have to mean renovation. Sometimes it’s a new arrangement, a different color, a piece of art, something removed, or the perfect vintage find that changes everything. My goal is to help you see your home with fresh eyes and discover what it’s been waiting for.

From virtual consultations to hands-on styling, I bring intuition, an artist’s eye, and a love of thoughtful curation to every space.

I want to help you create a home that feels like you — beautiful to look at, grounding to live in, and full of things you love.
