The Design Trader

How you want your space to feel is just the start of good design

Right from the front door your home should make you feel relaxed and happy and it needs to function for how you and all your household members live. I bring function and style together in the beautiful spaces I design for your home, beach house or office. Whether it’s rearranging what you have, choosing new paint and furniture or updating kitchens and baths I can transform your space into something truly special. I come to you and design a space just for you.

About me

My Style

Designing a beautiful space that has function, scale and flow is a passion of mine.
My goal is to create spaces that are timeless and suit the individual style of each client whether that is industrial, farm house, traditional, modern, coastal or a blend of styles.

Specializing in eclectic layering of old and new pieces makes spaces interesting, comfortable and personal. My spaces come alive with touches of nature sprinkled with color and texture influenced by the beaches or countryside of Md and Delaware

Communication is key. I’m here for whatever you need. My design service is not attached to any furniture or product companies and I earn no money by pushing you to buy specific items. I will suggest what works best for you, not me and I’ll keep in constant contact until your dream is realized!

I have the time, the energy, the attention to detail and all the creative ideas to pour into every project. I truly love designing spaces for homeowners and professionals.
