Identifying your deepest desires is the key to good design.

You too can create a beautiful connection to your environment by focusing on how you want your space to feel. Deep down you need to hold this high above everything else. Use it as your northern star BEFORE beginning a new design project.

I know first hand from my clients when they first come to me how stressful thinking about creating your space can be. It’s so easy to be overwhelmed with how do I even start, what do I focus on, is what I like even “correct”, and how are all of these pieces going to work together? We are all inundated by “perfect” spaces created by “perfect people”, it almost seems unattainable to create a space that looks like some of these rooms.

But this couldn’t be further from the truth.

Good Design Doesn’t Have to be Expensive

If you think good design is expensive think again!

Do you think good design is only possible for the exorbitantly rich, because that couldn’t be the furthest from the truth.

Everyone thinks that good design is almost unattainable.

I want to illustrate that great design doesn’t have to be expensive!

I want you to take the power back and realize that good design for you is out there. All you have to do is get really clear on who you are and what you want before beginning.

I know that this is the single biggest concern of most of my clients because they are real people with real lives who don’t have unlimited money!

I hear time and time again from my first time clients how fearful they are of spending too much money on design and how maybe they need to wait and they don’t deserve a full re-design of a specific space or their home.

I think the design industry unhealthily perpetuates some narratives. Like good design vs. bad design equals expensive things vs inexpensive things. Or like good design costs hundreds of thousands of dollars and as long as the things you buy are expensive you have good taste...

How to Discover Your Own Design Aesthetic - Video

How to discover your own Design Aesthetic. In the interior design industry too many people are forced to comply with existing design styles and the design aesthetics of the designers that they hire! I find this tragic because I believe in the sovereignty of the individual and I know deep in my soul that every single person has a beautiful creative voice. Everyone deserves to explore this creative voice in their own life through their environment. Don’t allow yourself to be sucked into the narrative that you need to sell your soul to these interior designers own aesthetics, or the popular culture of what is “correct” in design, or allow the people selling furniture to tell you what you “need” in your own environment! Only you know the answers to these questions in regards to your own environment. I want to empower my clients and anyone who watches this video to take their own creative power back. A true creative individual lies within you!
