About Angela

I love mixing mixing styles, textures and color and including pieces curated for each unique personality. I find that in almost 15 years of Interior Design experience, my aesthetic is always evolving. I am constantly inspired by nature in color, texture and pattern. I’m amazed at how perfectly imperfect the world is around us and how that can translate into beautiful and functional spaces.

Although, I’ve moved from my hometown in Michigan to living in the South to 3 years in Germany, I’m a Midwest girl at heart settling into the suburbs of Chicago. I have a BFA in Interior Design from Harrington College of Design in Chicago. I crave creativity and when not designing I’m taking photographs, painting or picking up an instrument.

What’s your perfect, most productive time of day? Believe it or not, my best ideas come to me when I'm in the shower (after a cup of coffee of course)! Tell me I'm not the only one. I guess you could say that’s my golden hour of creativity. Scientists explains this surge of creativity as a mix of increased dopamine flow, state of relaxation and distraction. No wonder great ideas happen in the shower! What about you, and what thoughts would you dream up in this one?

You’ve got dire design dilemmas, color conundrums, furniture placement problems, functionality frustrations and overall nagging design challenges...and I’ve got answers! I hear you friend and I want to help! Sometimes those small (and not so small) problems can stop you from moving forward and making changes that can literally make a world of difference on how you live and function in your home. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Are you a 'big picture' or 'details' person? As an Interior Designer we need to be both. Creating a concept and then working through every detail to achieve that big picture is all part of the fun! I'm excited to see this one coming together as we start the stretch home!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I was thrilled when my daughter asked for plants for her birthday. 🌿🌵We updated her bedroom to a plant-lovers paradise complete with her own personal forest! The mural is from @society6 and we designed and built the bed ourselves. The dog and I fight for time in the room, it's perfect for napping!

I love how our little patio space moves from day to night. This little corner is where you will find me in the quiet of the morning with coffee in hand and in the evening with a book watching the kids play. It has been fun watching it evolve as our lifestyles have evolved. What part of your home is your happy place? 👉🏠

Wanna play a game? Describe your mood as a color and tell me what it means. I’ve found myself pretty yellow lately because I waver between cautious and optimistic. I'm always excited where my next project will take me but as a business owner, I worry...a lot...about everything. But I’m learning to accept the unknown. Now share YOUR color and why in the comments below!
