There’s something beautiful and very circular about passing by something that was important to the person you loved, or touching something that once meant something to him — that brings me some peace.

I really can't live without my In-N-Out burgers. Honestly, I can't. Even when I'm doing the whole no-carb thing occasionally, I make an exception for these. They're too delicious to count.

Books are the heart of any home, and I spend hours going through books for design inspiration.

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.

In a modern loft, you can't just fill a space with furniture. Each piece has to be perfect.

If you actually keep things very organized and clutter-free, you can have more furniture than you think you can in a small space.

I live in a beautiful vintage building that was built in the heart of downtown Chicago.
