What is DESIGN SENSE Columns?

I am thrilled to welcome you to Design Sense Columns. Here I will share more in-depth stories through my experience and knowledge in interior design and interior architecture. Design Sense will explore the vast rewards of design as a process toward a richer, more joyful life experience. I will present practical, if not inspiring, information covering various other topics, including art, furniture, new products, and travel — all with good humor and fun. Here’s to graceful modern living with more design sense.

Our Latest Website

It’s no coincidence that Design Sense was launched alongside this new website. As a designer, I help my clients accomplish dreams, solve problems, provide information, and offer resources. Therefore, Design Sense Columns will strive to:

  • Bring fresh new ideas and professional perspectives.

  • Arrive well-versed on new products.

  • Examine critical topics.

  • Share my knowledge of interior design and interior architecture.

  • Bring my experience to bear on the construction process.

Our first website opened in the late 90s. Until now, we didn’t view the website as an information source other than certifying our professional existence and showcasing a few of our client’s homes. We hope Design Sense reflects the kind of thoughtfulness we do naturally.

With each update, my team and I enjoy a fresh chance to reflect on what we are seeing and experiencing in the world of refined living.

My interior design/interior architecture practice allows me and my staff to evolve with technology, trends, and style. I am grateful.
