field notes
Field Notes is a place for me to share what I’ve learned from my years building my interior design firm and give a behind-the-scenes look at what goes into creating the beautiful finished spaces in our portfolio. How do we design projects with a team of architects, builders, tradespeople and our clients? What does it take to renovate, decorate, save old houses and help our clients transform their lives at home?
This is a place for me to share what’s on my mind, explore a bit more about what our clients have experienced in working with us and ideally help prospective clients understand who we are and how we work.
