How would you describe your design philosophy?
I believe that every space has a story, and you must first let its original style and surroundings speak to you before determining the direction to take. By honoring a place’s character, you can create timeless, warm, and beautifully flowing interiors that feel naturally connected to their environment.

What would be your perfect Maine day?
It begins with my whole family at our camp on Chebeague Island. The morning is spent adventuring with the kids before stopping at Doughty’s Island Market for a snack. Back at camp, we have a slow afternoon lounging on the deck or the beach. Later, friends join us for a fire, drinks in hand, with guitar and singing providing the perfect soundtrack to end the day.
