Thoughtful Design

for Buffalo Homes

Ready for Their Next Chapter

Homes tell a story — not just through how they look, but how they feel.
Here, you’ll find spaces I’ve transformed through clarity, purpose, and a deep understanding of how people truly live.

Each project reflects a balance of function and beauty, with a focus on creating calm, supportive environments for real life in Buffalo and Western New York.

A closer look at the spaces I've transformed.

Whether it’s reimagining an older home, designing a kitchen that supports everyday routines, or elevating a bathroom into a quiet moment of ease, my work centers on helping homeowners move into their next chapter with clarity and confidence.

Every project below began with one smart decision — choosing a designer who could guide the process, simplify the decisions, and bring their vision to life with intention.

2025 Junior League of buffalo
show house

A bedroom designed for restoration and emotional ease.

This space was created as a quiet, grounded retreat inside a historic Buffalo home — a place where rest feels intentional and deeply supported.
With layered textures, thoughtful lighting, and a serene palette, this room reflects my belief that a home’s beauty is directly connected to how it makes you feel.

A modern take on elegance inside a Buffalo landmark.

For the 2023 Show House, I designed a space that balances contemporary warmth with the architectural character of a historic home.

RESIDENTIAL KITCHEN REMODEL

A kitchen reimagined for function, flow, and family life.

This Buffalo kitchen transformation centered on supporting everyday routines and making the home easier to live in.
We rethought the layout, improved storage, enhanced light, and created a space that feels equal parts beautiful and practical — a kitchen designed to grow with the family who uses it.

Every project begins with clarity.

Before any drawings, selections, or design direction, I start with a conversation about your home, your needs, and the life you’re stepping into.
My work blends engineering-level problem solving with a warm, intuitive understanding of how spaces should feel.

You don’t have to navigate your project alone.
I’m here to guide you with clarity, intention, and care — from the first idea to the final reveal.
