You didn't build the life you have by accident, and your home shouldn't feel like an afterthought either.
Most people who reach out to me are exactly where you are — surrounded by beautiful options and no time to sort through them. You know what you don't want. You're less sure how to turn "I like this, but not like that" into a finished room that actually works for how you live.
That's the part I do. Not by handing you a Pinterest board and hoping something sticks — by listening first, then building a space around your taste, your architecture, and the way you actually move through your home.
But... scrolling social media on hours' end will not make your home elegant–
A Professional Interior designer with an action plan will!!
And if you’re a busy professional in need of one
I can help!

Design that could only belong to you
I don't work from one signature look I recycle from project to project. I start with you — your taste, your art, your architecture, the way you actually want to feel walking through the door — and layer in color, pattern, and texture as my own point of view.
The result isn't a showroom. It's warm, considered, and unmistakably yours.
I built this business at the intersection of business and art, which is unusual, and it's exactly why clients hire me.
I hold a degree in Business Administration alongside a degree in Interior Design — so when I talk to you about budget, timeline, or scope, I'm not guessing. I'm giving you the same clear-eyed read I'd want if I were the one writing the checks. Transparency isn't a value I put on a website; it's how I was trained to run a project.
The other half is self-taught: I've worked in oils, pastels, and charcoal for most of my life, and that's where the confidence in my color and pattern work actually comes from. It's not a trend I'm chasing — it's how I see a room.
After several years with a respected New York design firm, I brought that combination to Tampa Bay and started Modern Design Homes in 2018.
I now work with homeowners in Tampa Bay and Central Florida's most exclusive waterfront and gated communities — people who want a home that looks like no one else's — and I work alongside architects, builders, and contractors to make sure the interior vision holds up all the way through construction.
Full-service clients get photorealistic 3D renderings of their real space — your furniture, your walls, your layout — before anything is ordered. It's the difference between hoping a design will work and knowing it will.
Paired with pieces sourced through an international vendor network most designers don't have access to, it means you're not choosing from what's available. You're choosing what's right — and you get to see it first.
Inquiry call + Initial Visit + custom proposal
We start with a real conversation — your goals, your budget, your timeline, how you actually live day to day. This isn't a sales call. It's the foundation everything else is built on.
Design Creating + Design Presentation
I build out a full concept — mood boards, material palettes, space plans, custom selections — and, on full-service projects, a 3D rendering so you can see the finished room before we order a single piece.
Procurement Process + Design Implementation
I handle sourcing, ordering, delivery, and installation — including access to an international vendor network for pieces you won't find anywhere else. You walk into a finished room. That's the whole job.

I take on a limited number of full-service projects each season, because every client gets my full attention — not a formula I've run a hundred times before.
