I ache. I’m getting pushed and pulled and jostled in this space I’ve claimed as my own. This space – where you’re reading – right now. It’s the tension between where I could be going and where I need to go. For me. For my work. For my creative pulse. I will not ignore my [...]

That post. Swirling in my mind like a god damned shark around prey. The opening line: “Now that I got the gig with the son’s room, it’s time to execute – and plot my moves to score more rooms in that great big under-decorated house.” The story goes on. The husband gets pissed at the [...]

Dear Fellow Designers: High-end. Boutique. Prestigious. Elite. World-Class. All lovely, evocative words, but when you describe your own body of work in this way I can’t help but feel incredibly nauseated. This ain’t radiating and stating the facts, jack. It’s pretentious and solicitous; a shame really, since your work is so often emblematic of contemplative [...]

Bedrooms are tricky. Loaded with innuendo and fraught with undercurrents of sexual tension and personal intimacy, I’m often left to piece together a private language I’m neither invited to learn nor want to share. But how else to understand how to design – mm, no – design well if I’m not offered the chance to [...]

I frequently wake at 3 in the morning with an intense case of the ceiling-stares. You can learn a lot about yourself when you’re laying in the dark, chasing fleeting thoughts and shadow ghosts.
