Curating Personalized Designs
I have been a devoted fan of High Point Market for three decades. It is central to my design practice, and it has allowed me to build lifelong friendships and business relationships that have endured. I love the chance to network and attend social events with design colleagues, members of the press, and the creatives that fuel our industry. I was a Style Spotter in 2013/2014 and later had the privilege of serving as a co-advisor with Shay Geyer for five years.

Bontempi Casa I Bach Table
Mid-Century chic sets the tone for an elegant dinner party. I love the sculptural presence of this stunning piece and the sense of graceful movement. Bontempi Casa is definitely atop my list of must see showrooms.

Firelight is magical and comforting. This luxurious fire table creates the perfect vibe for fun and flirtations as well as goblets of Bordeaux shimmering by the fire. Perfect on a chilly night with that special someone.
