As someone who cares about design and its effect on our lives, I admittedly have some quirky obsessions and pet peeves surrounding style and functionality.

Today more than ever, consumers have easy access to trendy design. Every time I open my email or social media, companies are promoting popular products at cheaper prices.

When working with clients I ask a lot of questions. Questions not only about what colors and textures make them feel good, but also about their lifestyle and the needs of their family.

It’s happened a few times. A client says ‘I want everything to MATCH’. I respectfully say ‘Hmm. We are not going to do that, but I promise it will be beautiful and everything will COORDINATE’.
