My personal and professional travels have fed my appetite for color and love for beautifully crafted objects and architecture and how they come together to create a welcoming space. The soulful pieces from a Moroccan market and the thoughtful shape and color of a Dutch kettle, for example, reinforce my belief that the things in our living spaces can be both functional and delightful. I believe that surrounding ourselves with beauty truly does lift our spirits and improve the quality of our lives.
