During those years she worked on residential design projects across manhattan, east hampton and southampton, greenwich, los Angeles, Palm beach and washington D.c. those experiences shaped the way she thinks about design - how architecture, art and a sense of place come together to create spaces that feel both elevated and lived-in.
