ABOUT ME
I have run projects of different sizes and types - from managing tv commercials in NYC and LA, to renovating houses in NJ and Boston.
Whether large or small, those projects required equal amounts of organization, coordination, adaptability and creativity. Film production let me learn and hone those talents, which transferred well to real life, where the focus became making spaces actually and lastingly beautiful and efficient.
In redesign I apply my abilities to every detail to transform a space into something personal and special, that is logical in function and artful in placement, and where the ease of its use is always supported by its beauty.
Along the way, I have had the pleasure to meet many really good people. I especially want to thank all my clients around Boston who kindly let me into their homes to help them. It was my pleasure.
