This Is Not A How To.... Or TheTrend Report Blog

Welcome to Studio Notes—my design journal and creative sketchbook. This isn’t a blog about trends or quick fixes. It’s a place for deeper reflections on interiors, creativity, and how the spaces we live in shape the way we feel.

I’ve worked in design for over 20 years, and I’ve seen it all: the industry hype, the Pinterest pressure, the never-ending carousel of what's “in.” But here’s what hasn’t changed—my belief in the quiet power of a well-considered space.

This is where I’ll share that belief. The textures I’m drawn to. The materials I trust. The observations that hit me mid-project or mid-walk. Thoughts from the studio. From the field. From real life.

If you’re looking for layered interiors, curated finds, artful living, and honest takes from someone who’s still wildly obsessed with this work—you’re in the right place.

Lots to come. Starting now.
