MY STORY

I was born into a family of Artists and Designers. The value of creating beauty was instilled in me on all fronts including music, apparel, and home décor. As an Egyptian/American raised in Texas, and having lived and travelled abroad, I have a fascination with people, the psychology of beauty, style, and culture; and I have mastered the art of re-inventing myself in various creative endeavors through 8 relocations! Still standing through the glories and sacrifices of a 30 year marriage and raising 2 incredible adult children, I have an important understanding of what home needs to be, beyond how it looks. With this comes a passion for what's "real" in our homes. Sentimental pieces, vintage pieces... a style that suites you and your family very personally are of utmost importance.

I have BBA from Baylor University, a Diploma from the Interior Design Institute of San Francisco, and an Interior Design Business Bakery (IDBB) Processes and Procedures Certification. I’ve owned businesses in residential interior design, custom floral and lighting design, and have a long history of sourcing vintage home décor & apparel. It is an honor to serve as Secretary on the Board of the Interior Design Society DFW Chapter. My creative history includes being the #1 Singer/Songwriter on the Czech Reverbnation Charts in 2012 (listen here ). I use my musical sensitivity in my design process; I hear music, I see spaces!

FEATURE ON HGTV

After 2 decades of living and practicing design in various cultures, Our Family was selected to be featured on HGTV’s show “Living Abroad” in 2012 featuring American Expats in Prague, CZ. We staged a gorgeously renovated apartment in the historic home of a Czech Composer (Mozart frequented the home for tutoring!) It was an honor to be featured. (See the episode here)

MY PHILOSOPHY

Just as my music was written to move souls, my design work is meant to be an aesthetic elixir. I hold the belief that the essence of beauty is in its power to heal. It is something we all crave like water. There are text-book designers who will make things pretty and efficient. But I like to go deeper, to make your design as comfortable as living in your own skin, supporting you on your journey through life and making sentimental the good pieces of your past.

Join me on a journey of self-discovery leading to your best life in your best home environment. We are so excited to bring all we have to the table to meet your home design needs. Thank you for stopping by!
