> Forbes Contributor & Interior Design Expert

I’m a Forbes Contributor, Interior Design Expert, and media consultant. In addition to my Forbes column, I’ve written about interior design for Real Simple (currently a contributor), Better Homes & Gardens, Real Homes, Reader’s Digest, The Spruce Eats, and Bob Vila, among other publications. I’ve also been featured on Good Morning America and Cheddar. Most recently, I moderated a panel for HomeThreads at KBIS. 

I’m here to discuss your design project (in a really fun, non-intimidating but honest way) or connect about working with media and PR.
