About

I have had the privilege of working with incredible clients nationwide, designing spaces that are as unique as the people who live in them. My approach is always client-focused, your vision, style, and needs guide every decision I make. Many of my clients trust me with multiple homes and have worked with me for over 15 years, which speaks to the strong relationships and personalized service I pride myself on delivering.

My design journey began in South Carolina, where I started out in a small, locally-owned design firm in 1998. A few years later I partnered with anotherer designer, and together we formed Fine Interiors, designing and styling beautiful model homes for a nationwide builder. After moving to the scenic mountains of North Carolina in 2006, I rebranded as Fine Interiors of Western North Carolina, continuing my passion for creating thoughtful, beautiful spaces. Along the way, I have been honored to have been featured in the prestigious Parade of Homes and have become a trusted name in residential design throughout the region.

In 2024, in response to overwhelming client demand and the evolving design market, I added online consultation-based interior design services to my business model. This approach allows us to offer flexible, remote design services that cater to our client's busy lifestyles and provide easy access to our expertise, no matter where our clients are located. With this model, we can now collaborate on more projects nationwide, delivering the same high level of service, customization, and attention to detail that our clients expect while adapting to their specific needs and preferences.

Design runs deep in my family roots. My grandfather was a master furniture builder, and my father, an engineer, played a pivotal role in developing one of South Carolina’s most prestigious lakefront communities. Growing up immersed in this world of craftsmanship and innovation sparked my passion for design early on, inspiring me to pursue a Fine Arts degree in interior design and continuing to fuel my love for creating spaces that reflect the individuality of each client.

I'm also thrilled to share that Emma Wright, the fourth generation of our family, now has joined my firm as a design assistant. Her natural artistic talent and fresh perspective bring an exciting new energy to the team. Together, we look forward to helping you bring your design dreams to life.

In addition to my design work, I enjoy writing, both as a way to share my experience and to address the questions I hear most often from clients. I currently write a column for a local newspaper and am also working on a series of interior design books that explore the topics people are genuinely curious about. Writing has become one of my favorite creative outlets, alongside tending my garden, enjoying a good glass of red wine, or laughing with friends and family.
