ABOUT WENDY

My approach to design is rooted in collaboration, practicality, and a true understanding of how my clients live. I believe every room in a home should feel usable, comfortable, and lived-in—not reserved only for special occasions. Dining rooms should feel like a natural extension of the kitchen, and living rooms can become multifunctional spaces with a pool table, bar, ping-pong table, or a sophisticated family room that reflects real life. 

I listen closely to my clients’ needs, budgets, inspirations, and personal styles, and together we create spaces that feel both beautiful and deeply functional.

I work across all areas of interior design, including primary and children’s bedrooms, living rooms, dining rooms, basements, kitchens, and bathrooms. I also assist with finishing touches such as shelving, styling, and art selection. I genuinely love the full process—from initial concepts, to construction, to the final moments when art is hung, shelves are styled, and a home feels complete.

I’m grateful for my many repeat clients over the past 10+ years, who continue to return for renovations, expansions, or when moving into a new home. My business is built on trust and word of mouth, and every project is an extension of the last. I am currently accepting new clients. Please feel free to reach out with any inquiries.
