Residential Interior Design for Real Life

Thoughtful, functional homes designed with intention — based in Asheville, serving clients nationwide.

Your home should support your life — not add friction to it.

Whether you’ve just moved in, lived there for years, or know something isn’t working but can’t quite name it, residential interior design is about creating a space that feels calm, cohesive, and truly yours.

I work with homeowners who want their homes to feel better to live in — not trendier, not more complicated — just more intentional.

BOOK A CALL

A neatly made bed with white bedding, accented by two large teal pillows and an orange bolster pillow, set in a cozy bedroom with wood-paneled walls, a window with white curtains, a round woven wall hanging, a wooden nightstand with a lamp, and a wooden bench at the foot of the bed, with a stack of books on top.

This Is For You If…

You might be reaching out because:

Your home doesn’t reflect you anymore
You’re overwhelmed by choices and decision fatigue
You’ve tried DIY and still feel stuck
Your space works fine but doesn’t feel great
You want a cohesive plan instead of guessing
You value design — but also practicality

You don’t need to have the answers.

You just need to know you want support.

Design That Supports Daily Life

Good residential design isn’t about perfection or magazine spreads.

It’s about:

How your home feels when you wake up
How easily you move through your day
How relaxed you feel at night
How your space supports routines, rest, and connection

My role is to help translate how you want to feel into a clear, functional design plan — without overwhelming you or pushing trends that don’t fit your life.

Calm, Clear, and Thoughtful

I approach residential interior design with:

Deep listening before design decisions
Clear guidance (not endless options)
Practical layouts that make sense long-term
Materials and finishes chosen for real use
A process that respects your time and budget

This is collaborative, grounded design — not a high-pressure or ego-driven process.

Residential Projects I Commonly Take On

Whole-home design or refreshes

Kitchens and bathrooms
Living spaces and bedrooms
Small homes and thoughtful renovations
Homes that need better flow and function
Spaces that feel disconnected or unfinished

You don’t need a brand-new build or a massive budget — just a desire for things to work better.
