THE WELL RESEARCHED LIFE
When The New York Times, Elle Decor, or Condé Nast Traveler have a question about furniture shopping, they call me.
Twenty-five years specifying and buying furniture — Park Avenue residences, colleges and universities in 13 states, $41M sourced.
It’s Time We Talk Directly.
After 25 years behind the scenes of luxury design, I wanted to cut through the industry noise and share my insights directly with you. Ready to find well-made furniture that’s actually worth the price tag? I’m bringing a designer's eye to help you navigate the consumer retail market. I'm breaking down the good, the bad, and the ugly so you can make smart investments for your home.
And, it’s time we work together too.
I’m eliminating the headache inducing contracts and steep project minimums to make my expertise accessible to more people.
The $150 Design Session
I firmly believe that everyone deserves a polished, cohesive home. To make high-end design accessible for real people, I’m offering an hour of one-on-one consulting at 50% off a traditional studio visit.
Consider me your home's personal trainer. Whether you are stuck on a bathroom layout, drowning in kitchen finishes, struggling with lighting, or just trying to find the perfect sofa, I have sourced and solved it all. Let's spend an hour together and expertly knock out the million little decisions keepin

You've Got The Taste. You Just Want A Second Opinion.
Traditional design firms want a project minimum before they'll take your call. Retail showrooms push whatever's on commission this month. And if you've ever taken a cue from a tech review site, you know exactly how that goes — Wirecutter's top sofa pick was a $3,000 flat-pack you bolt together yourself. Not the polish you're going for.
None of that fits a home like yours.
Twenty-five years of high-end sourcing, now available by video call. No minimums, no contracts, no showroom upsell — just a straight answer on the piece in front of you.
Book a session and walk through your space with someone who's spent 25 years sourcing the real thing.
