My perspective is that a home should reflect the personality of those that live there. Design trends come and go (quickly, I might add!) so I find a client’s likes and dislikes to be more important than anything. I love reading between the lines on what someone describes to find the right pieces to curate together, and to help create a space that functions beautifully as it will be used- not just one that will look great when photographed (but we do that too.)
I’m an East Coast transplant, so my directness spills over into how I interact with customers- you’ll get a straight shooter with me, to say the least. Even if it means lowering the ticket price, I WILL tell you that fabric is an awful choice or that sofa is too big, and steer you in the right direction. Full disclosure: I will also need to see photos of your dog and to know all about them, please.
My past jobs have involved art galleries, high end salvaged wood furniture, luxury mattresses and general contracting with a custom Design/Build company. So, if you want to nerd out on art or woodworking, talk craftsmanship in any capacity, or get help envisioning what a space could be while it’s still in its bare bones stage, you’re speaking my language!
When I’m not here with my Forsey’s family, I’m hanging out with my dog (Leila), going to Triva (or watching Jeopardy!), cooking for myself or friends (I’m Italian so I made a lot- are you hungry?), pining for my next international travel experience, yelling at NFL games or dabbling in art while comparing the outcomes quite harshly to the works of my favorite artists like Dali, Magritte and Van Gogh.
