I'm intrigued and would love to learn more about your process.

We've included additional information from our most frequently asked questions to help you better understand what it's like to work with our studio.

First, what's the difference between curation and styling? They seem similar.

The terms are sometimes conflated, but when working on a room, there are two distinct decisions being made. They happen in order, and they do different jobs.

Curation — How the Room Looks

Looking at what you already own and deciding what stays, what moves, and what no longer fits.
Choosing a small number of new pieces that work well together.
Making sure materials, colors, and textures feel cohesive rather than random.
Curation helps prevent a room from feeling cluttered or mismatched. It’s about making thoughtful choices before anything is arranged.

Styling — How the Room Functions

Placement decisions so the room feels balanced.
Adjusting spacing so things don’t feel crowded or sparse.
Ensuring the functionality of the room is protected. How the room works day to day drives decisions and prevents unnecessary additions.
Layering light, texture, and height to make the space feel comfortable and finished.
Styling is what helps a room feel calm, welcoming, and lived-in.

They Work Together

Curation happens first and styling comes after.
If you skip curation, you lose cohesion. Spaces can become collections of individually nice things that don’t quite belong together. A chair, a rug, a lamp, and artwork may all be appealing on their own, yet still feel slightly off when placed in the same room.
If you skip styling, rooms can feel awkward in layout and flow. Styling focuses on how a space is used, how people move through it, and how comfortable it feels to live in. Styling looks at how the room functions, not just how it looks.
Together, they create spaces that feel intentional and easy to live in.

How do you determine the starting point for a new project?

Every project has different needs but the starting point is always listening. Whether you're furnishing a new home from scratch or simply adding a few new touches, our goal is to help you create cohesion. We begin by working with what you already own and only add what makes the space more coherent.

When new product sourcing is requested, we focus on intimate, tactile pieces that transform a room’s feel without overwhelming it - prioritizing both utility and soul. Items we regularly source:

Small-batch ceramics – mugs, bowls, vases, serving pieces
Textiles – table linens, throws, cushions, handwoven rugs
Woodwork – stools, side tables, trays, carved objects
Lighting – pendants, sconces, table lamps with character and softness
Art & wall pieces – prints, small works on paper, mixed media, tapestry, weavings or paintings
Seasonal and ritual objects – candle holders, incense dishes, altar-like arrangements for hearth, kitchen, entryways and thresholds or bedside
Furniture of all kinds
Each piece is chosen for its ability to anchor a space with quiet cohesion

What makes this studio different?

We design for lasting use, not trends
We prioritize small-batch and independent makers
Restraint is valued over excess, fewer, better objects
Projects are limited and intentionally spaced to provide ample attention to clients
We believe design is a way to celebrate the cultural and spiritual beliefs that anchor a way of life
Our suggestions reflect a nature-rooted, slow-living philosophy
This is design with a point of view, not a list of affiliate products

Can you tell me more about your aesthetic and design philosophy?

This studio's design sensibility is shaped by nature, the handmade, and culture made visible through material. Influences from Native American art and the landscapes of the American Southwest appear through earthy palettes and weathered textures I use, and forms that feel grounded rather than decorative.

Textiles and patterns that carry cultural memory hold particular weight here, as do materials that age with grace—clay, wool, wood, and woven fiber. That said, every client has different needs and we work to help you clarify your own style and curatorial voice - it need not be a carbon copy of ours.

You’re invited to wander through a thoughtfully arranged collection of objects, textures, and mood boards — assembled as quiet sparks of inspiration for those dreaming of a home with beauty and intention. These gathered pieces offer a glimpse into the atmospheres I love to create, and a starting place for imagining what your own space might become.

What steps are involved in a typical project?

Whether you’re outfitting one room or building a full interior language, we adapt our process to your vision.

Step 1 – Conversation & Mood:

We begin with a brief consultation to understand your space, how you live in it, and what feeling you want to cultivate—cozy kitchen, fireside quiet, guest-ready retreat, contemplative reading nook.

Step 2 – Confirm Scope and Pricing:

After gaining an understanding of your needs, we'll draft a proposal that outlines the scope of services, the project timeline and pricing. Specific pricing is shared after we've received your inquiry. A fifty-percent deposit reserves availability and the balance will be billed after services are provided.

Step 3 – Curated Proposals:

We create a small, tightly edited selection of pieces tailored to your project along with suggestions for placement or pairing. You'll receive styling guidance so the pieces settle naturally into your home.

Step 4 – Ongoing Relationship:

Many clients return seasonally or as new rooms come into focus. Think of us as your quiet, behind-the-scenes design partner—always on the lookout for work that fits your home’s language.

Tell us about your project, and we’ll share an approach that fits its scale, timeline, and mood.
