Understanding Your Needs: My Collaborative Process
Every design project starts with really getting to know you—how you live, what inspires you, what you want your space to say about you. My process is all about getting to know you.
I start by assessing your home’s unique features—how natural light fills each room, the architectural details that make your house special. We’ll talk about your goals—whether it’s a dining room for entertaining, a single room refresh or your entire house. I’ll oversee every detail—from the perfect wall color to the furniture that fits your life and budget.
My goal is to bring your story to life through design so every decision reflects you and exceeds your expectations. By working with you every step of the way I ensure the final result is a space that feels like yours—comfortable, functional, and inspiring.
A smarter way to design your kitchen in Weehawken
A Weehawken kitchen remodeling certainly has its unique obstacles: tight floor plans, older buildings, and layouts that just weren’t designed for how we live in kitchens today. You have to accommodate kitchens in a very effective, strategic way, as opposed to a suburban house, where you might have a really large kitchen. But that’s what makes the transformation even more satisfying.
Every inch counts in these jobs — and I love the challenge of transforming narrow kitchens into gorgeous, high-functioning spaces that are as lovely as anything you would see on the other side of the river.
The process always begins as I evaluate how you live. Are you one of the people who can’t function in the morning without your espresso machine? Do you enjoy throwing dinner parties, or do you simply need to cook for your family and friends on a quiet weeknight? These rhythms inform everything in my design choices — from a furniture layout to lighting and custom cabinetry.
I do a lot of kitchen renos where the goal is to open it up, whether that means taking down walls, adding extra-tall cabinets for ample storage, or layering in light to give the room depth and warmth. These moves make even small kitchens feel spacious, upscale, and integral with the rest of the house.
I provide full-service design: I oversee your project from start to finish. I’m not only designing a kitchen that looks good in photos, but a place that functions beautifully for your everyday life. My team and I manage all the details so that your renovation is on time, on budget, and hassle-free.
Transforming Bathrooms into Everyday Escapes
One of my favorite ways to inject a little everyday luxury into my clients’ lives is with a bathroom redesign. In a community like Weehawken, where space can be tight and schedules even tighter. Still, a thoughtful design can transform even the smallest bathroom into a sanctuary.
For a lot of my clients, a well-designed bathroom isn’t only about function — it’s about creating a moment of calm. Be it the glow of flattering lighting, the texture of high-end materials, or the clever storage that eliminates visible clutter, every detail counts.
I often help clients reconfigure the floor plan, substitute more space-conscious pocket or sliding doors, and bring in custom vanities that blend storage with style. All you need are layered lighting, well-made fixtures, and the right choices of flooring to change the game — turning your Hudson County home into a haven that rivals hotel-level comfort.
From spa-inspired sanctuaries to sleek, modern refreshes, I create bathrooms that are beautiful but never sterile, practical but never basic, and deeply personal — yet so your end-of-the-day homecoming feels like stepping into something made just for you.
Interior Decor That Reflects Who You Are
Here in Weehawken, decorating a home is not simply selecting pretty items — it is about expressing your story. My style blends with intention in order to help you have spaces that are a representation of your success, that embrace the way you live, and that can grow with you.
City living means every inch of space counts. Furnishings in smaller or open-plan spaces must be both purposeful and polished. I guide my clients in choosing pieces that are visually impactful and workhorses, and offer furniture that multitasks, textiles that are decadent, and layouts that prioritize comfort without compromising flow.
In many Weehawken homes, dining areas, living spaces, and even work zones often share a single footprint. And to follow my decorating philosophy, I layer on pops of color, mix & match textures, and strategically place furniture to create distinct living areas, all the while maintaining an open and airy feel.
Having been in the New Jersey home staging business, I have seen how design can affect a property’s overall value. Many of my clients see their home as both a sanctuary and a smart investment — and I design with that duality in mind.
Whether you’re simply refreshing a room or designing an entire house, my mission is to help you create a home that feels effortlessly stylish and unmistakably yours.
Lighting Design That Works with Weehawken’s Natural Rhythm
Here in Weehawken, lighting design extends beyond fixtures — it’s about collaborating with the natural rhythm of the Hudson. Depending on your home’s orientation, morning and evening light can vary dramatically. East-facing apartments can sparkle at sunrise, while riverfront homes will often require layered lighting to make the beautiful transition through the evening.
I begin this work of guiding people toward good lighting choices by considering the natural light in your home. I like to see how it changes throughout the day and how you use each space. The ambition is to raise the function and feel of your home — from those energizing morning routines to those cozy evening unwinds.
I layer spaces using practical, stylish, and visually tactile application of ambient, task, and accent lighting. Artful pendant lights, under-cabinet lighting, and strategically placed sconces are never just functional — they also add drama and dimension.
For clients with a busy schedule, I suggest installing smart lighting, which will cater to your rhythm of life. Whether you’re relaxing after a day in Manhattan or trying to set the perfect vibe for a weekend soiree, you can do it all from your phone with ease.
Light is the final piece that brings life to your space, and I design it to work beautifully, day and night.
