about me

I have over 12 years of professional interior design experience and a deep love of the way textures, form and scale can transform an environment. I have experience with complete renovations from demolition to ground-up construction. I’ve overseen projects with major structural changes. Regardless of scale, I bring a creative design sense and strong communication skills to every one of my projects.I believe that design is born out of each person’s unique experiences. Backed with a B.S. from Cornell’s Interior Design program and my tenured list of professional experiences, I understand the technical aspects of design and how to create unique spaces on both large and small scales. As a 3rd generation Greek-Italian American, I appreciate the value of historic roots and understand the significance of exuberant culture in design. These experiences have driven me to always be exploratory with interior design and consider how design must interface with an environment. On the personal side, my family has always said I’ve been sensitive to my surroundings, trying to make spaces more efficient and enjoyable for everyone. I am equally sensitive to my client’s needs: striving to collaborate and ensure that my clients are a part of the process.
