Everything I commission - whether it is for me or for a client's home or for a hotel or office - is absolutely unique to that job. I have everything made, or I find vintage and antique pieces at markets and auctions.

The best thing I ever bought is a vintage Oscar de la Renta short gingham dress that I wore to my rehearsal dinner the night before my wedding.

Hollywood Regency is a label some people put on me, but I consider myself a modernist in that I always try to make the work feel fresh.

There is a voice, and there is a DNA to how I design.

Every year, my boys and I create new cool gift wrap paper. We hand paint the design and come up with interesting ways to wrap each gift.

I am just a curious gal who is continuing to be curious.

Whether you're going to a museum or a flea market or flipping through a book, always be on the lookout for something special.
