Health & Details Matter!

My work is rooted in creativity, guided by a strong sense of service, and grounded in honesty. 
I believe that great design begins with listening—truly understanding how you live and what makes you feel at home. Each project is a reflection of its owner, and no two homes are ever the same. 

Every piece selected influences the next, creating a cohesive, layered look that flows naturally from room to room.
My approach blends timeless design principles with a personal touch, ensuring that every detail speaks to your unique style.

I still love to sketch layouts and furniture plans by hand—it’s how I think best, and allows me to stay connected to the artistry of the work.

Since founding Haute Interiors, LLC in Columbia, SC in 2007, I have remained committed to designing spaces that reflect the unique personality and lifestyle of each client.

I am dedicated to creating interiors that are not only beautiful, but also safe and healthy. I prioritize the use of low- or no-VOC finishes, organic textiles, and naturally sourced materials to ensure that each space promotes both well-being and aesthetic appeal.

From furniture made the old way—crafted and hand-tied—to curated finishes that reflect beauty, health, and heart, I believe that every detail matters.

Now based in Hendersonville, NC, I work closely with clients who value craftsmanship, wellness, and refined living. Whether you’re refreshing a single room or redesigning your entire home, every project is a collaboration—tailored to reflect your personality and lifestyle. 

Let’s begin your journey to a healthier, more beautiful living space today--one that you'll love to call home!

Welcome to Haute Interiors--live beautifully and healthfully!
