I was barely in grade school when I helped my mother rearrange the living room furniture for the first time.

Everywhere in my house are these little things that have meanings and make me think of great memories.

Buying found objects means repurposing something that was already made years before, sometimes decades before. It strikes a nice balance between the new and used equation we should strive for in our lives.

I made my parents crazy. As a kid, I redecorated my bedroom every month. I would literally save my allowance and go buy things.

As a designer, everything is always about aesthetics mixed in with functionality and having that visual appeal. But you learn fast as a new parent with an infant that if it’s not deeply practical as well, then forget about it. Style wise, I wanted to design items that would work well in any nursery - regardless of gender.

Layering in different patterns will keep things from appearing too studied.

I think I was the only kid on the block who knew about furniture scale by the time I was 8.
