why i created shop + style

I still remember the first short-term rental I ever designed. It was the project that changed everything for me. Sourcing furniture, selecting finishes, and styling each room —I brought in friends to help me shop and set everything up. That project lit a fire in me.

  1.   I wanted to do this for a living.

  2.  I realized how powerful it is to have someone by your side while you’re designing— even just to bounce ideas off or shop smarter.

Since then, I've designed short term rentals, residential and commercial spaces of all kinds—and I've learned something important: not everyone needs (or can afford) a full-service designer. BUT Everyone DESERVES a space they LOVE.

That's what Shop + Style is about. It’s not just about having a second set of eyes. It’s about a fresh perspective, a little guidance, and a design Sidekick to help along the way.

I created Shop + Style to give design students and new decorators a chance to gain real-world experience — while helping real people create spaces they love at a price they can actually afford.

And I'm here to support both sides, every step of the way.
