a little about me: I’m overly dependent on sarcasm and coffee, and pretty obsessed with my italian greyhound, wesley. when I’m not working, blogging, or planning my future home remodel, you can find me refinishing free furniture from facebook marketplace, tending to my 150+ houseplants, or rearraning my home. to my boyfriend’s dismay, I’m always on the lookout for new hobbies and crafts.

I have years of experience doing design consulting for luxury kitchen and bath galleries and furniture showrooms, specializing in bath planning and design project management, intertwined with years of design work as an industrial designer.

I’ve called many places home, but I’ve landed in boston. I come from and will always consider the midwest home, though.


a good home should be made, not bought
