WELCOME

And I’m so glad you’re here, friend! It’s lovely to “e-meet” you. By trade, I’m an interior designer and design writer with a deep love for all things classic and traditional. But I’m really just a 30-something celebrating Southern life in Macon, Georgia, a historic city known for its cherry blossom-lined streets and old homes with stories to tell. As a design nerd, who writers and breathes design most days, I’ve always believed a home should feel timeless—designed once, loved forever (no trends, please). So naturally, I’m all about monogrammed bed sheets, J.Crew, Tuckernuck, preppy motifs, hydrangeas in chinoiserie vases, and scenic oil paintings (with mangos, curry, turmeric, and a little Bollywood sprinkled in!). And if any of that makes your heart skip a beat—you’re in good company here! So if you’ve got a couple of minutes to spare, feel free to take a peek around where you’ll find me sharing the behind-the-scenes of my creative life, from beautiful interiors and new stories to little things that spark joy along the way. But if you’re looking for interior design services, head over to The Selective Design—where I lead design and operations alongside founder Meredith McKenzie.
