interior design studio
Midnight Velvet
For fifteen years, I've been translating the intangible into the tactile—turning feelings into rooms, memories into materials, whispers into walls.
My approach isn't about following what's trending on Pinterest. It's about listening. To you, yes. But also to the space itself. What does this room want to become? How does the light move through the day? What story is already here, waiting to be revealed?
I work with clients who understand that a home isn't just a backdrop for life—it's an active participant in how you feel, how you rest, how you create. People who want their spaces to have depth. Who aren't afraid of shadows. Who know that sometimes the most powerful design choice is restraint.
If you've been searching for a designer who sees your home as more than a project, who values atmosphere as much as aesthetics, who believes a room should make you feel something—you're in the right place.
The most transformative spaces aren't designed to impress guests. They're designed to hold you.

How We'll Work Together
We collaborate. You respond. I adjust. This isn't about me
imposing a vision—it's about finding the intersection
of your truth and the space's potential.
I'll translate our conversations into material palettes,
spatial layouts, and atmospheric direction.
You'll see mood boards, but more importantly, you'll feel
the energy of what we're creating.
We begin with conversation—about how you live, what
matters to you, what isn't working in your current space.
I'll ask unexpected questions. You'll share things you didn't
know were relevant. This is where trust begins.

Recent Transformations
Restoring soul to a gutted renovation
When Sarah and James bought their Park Slope brownstone, it had been completely renovated—stripped of all original character and painted builder-grade white. We brought back the moody, layered atmosphere the home was meant to have, honoring its bones while making it undeniably theirs.
Brooklyn Brownstone
Warmth in an industrial shell
Michael wanted his loft to feel like a refuge from the city, not an extension of it. We softened the concrete and steel with natural textures, warm metals, and strategic lighting—creating intimate pockets within the open floor plan.
Tribeca Loft
Sophisticated spaces that hold real life
A family of four who were tired of "kid-friendly" meaning boring. We designed rooms that are beautiful AND livable—where spilled juice won't cause panic and where children are welcomed, not accommodated.
Westchester Family Home
Your home should make you feel like yourself—the truest, most grounded version. Not who you think you should be. Not who Instagram says is aspirational. Just you.
Trends fade, but atmosphere endures. I'm not interested in designing spaces that will feel dated in three years. I'm interested in creating environments that deepen with time.
The best rooms have a point of view. They make choices. They're unapologetically specific, which is exactly what makes them feel authentic.
Great design isn't about having the "right" taste. It's about honoring your actual life—how you move through space, what brings you peace, what you need your home to hold.
What I Believe About Design
— Margaret T., Upper West Side
"I've worked with several designers over the years, but this was different. [Designer Name] didn't just listen to what I said—she heard what I meant. She translated my scattered Pinterest boards and vague feelings into a home that actually feels like mine. I cry every time I walk into my bedroom. Not because it's dramatic, but because it's so deeply right."
— David and Lauren K., Montclair
"We thought we wanted bright, airy, Scandinavian minimalism. That's what every designer showed us. But [Designer Name] asked different questions. 'How do you feel in spaces like that? Do they energize you or make you anxious?' Turns out, we needed the opposite—warmth, layers, a bit of shadow. She saw us more clearly than we saw ourselves."
— Patricia S., Greenwich
"The attention to detail is unmatched. Every lighting fixture, every textile, every placement felt intentional. But more than that—the whole process felt like collaboration, not dictation. Our home is better than I could have imagined because it includes vision I didn't know I had."
Every project starts with a conversation. No pressure, no pitch—just an honest exploration of whether we're the right fit for each other.
