I grew up on the wild and beautiful Sea Islands of Georgia, surrounded by ancient oak trees dripping with Spanish moss, sand dunes, wild horses, alligators, and exotic birds. It was undeveloped and exquisite. This upbringing gave me a deep respect and loyalty to nature which is my inspiration and muse.

After working with various environmental groups, I began my design career in New York City where I found my passion and never looked back. I’ve followed projects all over the globe and have set up studios in Atlanta, Austin, and Maui.

A home should be a sanctuary for rejuvenation, and restoring balance as they are extensions of our bodies. They dramatically affect our health, vitality, and relationships. Spaces for Well-Being aims to soothe the senses by utilizing color, sound, and light, creating a flow between the indoors and outdoors. I work with artists and artisans to create unique spaces using non-toxic items and materials. To stay healthy we must foster environments that serve the pleasures of the spirit. My designs are about living graciously and gracefully with a focus on the intersection of design, health, and sustainability. I create spaces that nurture the soul.

I hope to have the chance to collaborate with you!
