About Angela

I love mixing mixing styles, textures and color and including pieces curated for each unique personality. I find that in my 12 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 Michigan to southern living 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 or painting, or doing crafts with my art loving kids!

My new normal isn't working from home, it's working from home with the entire family next to me and simultaneously home schooling. The small workspace that I carved out for myself has been invaded. Now 3 of us spread out at the kitchen table working side by side. Challenging? Yes, but I'm so grateful to have us together and healthy right now that I'm starting to find some joy when I look up from my laptop and see my favorite people in this with me. Then, I remember this home office I designed sometime back... . . . . . #inthistogether #wfh #wfhlife #designerlife #creativelife #creativebusiness #homeoffice #homeofficedesign #officeinspo #crrentdesignsituation #interiors #designinspo #homeinspo #homedecor #stellarspaces #instadesign #designerinspo #getinspired #homedecor #decorlovers #socialdistancing #workingfromhome #togetherapart

So jealous of this space and what a joy to design! I could be happy quarantined here.... . . . . . #havenlyhome #myhavenly #getdecorated #homeinspo #interiordesignerslife #interiors #designinspo #familyroomdesign #livingroomdesign #livingroominspo #howyouhome #inspiredhome #makehomematter #homesohard #howihaven

Working from home can be great, but let's face it sometimes it can be a challenge to stay focused and on task. As someone who works from home quite bit, here are some tips to keep you motivated as we muscle through the weeks ahead... 🏠 . 1. Get dressed! I know part of the appeal is that we don't have to dress to impress and being comfortable is important too. But hear me out, those pajamas are not doing you any favors. Your brain says, "I'm dressed for a nap, let's do that." 👀 . 2. Change it up! Nobody said you had to work at the same desk day in and day out. One day take it to the kitchen table, the living room or even outside if you are able. Being mobile is part of the perks of working from home and our environments can play a big part in our productivity. Moods are ever changing, why not suit the environment to what we need at that moment. 🧠 . 3. Don't forget your other senses. I love essential oils and the right scent can motivate us or calm our anxieties, a must in this current situation. Also, music or your favorite movie can add just enough background noise to help break the silence. (I often put in an old movie, one I've seen a million times that I don't have to follow but makes me feel good. Currently I'm doing Hitchcock movies). 🕺 . 4. Take breaks. This one is hard for me. I get hyper focused and forget to move. Trust me, both your body and brain need this. Stop and take a walk, do jumping jacks, play with your pets...whatever gets you moving and refreshed. ☕ 5.. And lastly but certainly not least....COFFEE. Lots and lots of coffee. 🦸‍♀️ . .
