“Your methamphetamine mind and powerhouse energy… gale-force.”
“Erica? I’d say she’s contemporary meets fuck-you antique. So, I guess, eclectic. She nailed a silver soup tureen to the wall, for heaven’s sake. Need I say more?”
Here’s the thing – design is an entirely subjective experience. It’s yours and yours alone. What turns you on might repel your neighbour, and what your best friend is digging might make your head spin. I’m not here to regurgitate the hottest, trendiest “new” thing. I just don’t give a shit. Instead, I’m here to help you find your hottest thing. What could possibly be better?
Aesthetically speaking, I help you define your best self. I distill, I refine, I reflect. Then I strip away all the stuff that doesn’t fit. I problem-solve and help you understand how you live, not just with what you live. I show you that choosing something different isn’t moving away from yourself; it’s moving toward where you want to be and who you’re becoming.
This is my definition of design – conscious choice. The considered creation of the place you call home. The liberation of mood, desire, and your own personal pleasure. If you can’t be you in your most private surroundings, then where on earth can you?
Here’s where you and I can start working some magic:
I design atmospheres and purify visions by clarifying aesthetic chaos. I organize spaces and simplify processes by untangling cluttered minds. I work my mojo in a few different but equally effective ways:
I listen.
I listen as closely to the things you don’t say as to the things you do. Every great project begins with an initial spark, that one evocative ember that lights the creative fire and tells me where you need the project to go.
I translate.
Your language is uniquely yours; I decipher and decode until the essence of you emerges in tangible form. It isn’t about choosing tables and chairs and sofas and lamps and all the practical details that make up a room; it’s about evoking memories and inspiration and the greater sense of ease that comes with being in touch with your space.
I initiate.
Patterns and processes can be incredibly useful. But if they’re no longer serving you or were born of mere convenience, they can keep you trapped in mediocrity. Our conversations help me find where you’re stuck and where you need a little push. And then I push. Because the details of your life dictate how you experience your world and sweet relief comes only when there’s a shift in direction toward the life you’ve been envisioning. You and your space deserve nothing less.
I know you’re pulled in a hundred different directions and life would be easier if you actually liked the place you call home; that it worked for you rather than against you; that it reflected you and yours in all your glorious and multi-faceted dimensions. I also know you’re focused and oh so busy doing that thing you do so well.
So you do yours and I’ll do mine.
You’re ready.
