My path into this work began the way the best things often do, unexpectedly, in the middle of something else.

A client and I were deep in a design consultation, pillows, fabric, the small decisions, when I realized her situation was much bigger than a design project. Her husband's health had been changing, and she was beginning to think about what came next. A smaller place, somewhere he could get the care he needed. What started as a conversation about furniture became something else entirely. She needed help deciding what to keep, figuring out what would actually fit in a new space, and making decisions that felt impossibly heavy. And in between all of it, she wanted someone to listen. To hear about her parents, her husband, their life together. It was tender and hard and really beautiful.

That experience made something clear to me: the design work I'd always done was never purely about rooms. It was part design, part emotional support, part hand-holding. This is just those same elements, honed into something more focused and more needed.

If that sounds like what you need, I'd love to help.
