I am a fine art photographer, artist, curator, and interior designer based in the San Francisco Bay Area. For 25 years I worked in commercial advertising, photographing and directing campaigns for luxury resorts and spas around the world. Resorts and spas are designed for relaxation at every level, light, materials, layout, sound, and flow, and that immersion into that world shaped my design style.

I have always had deep love for architecture and interior design and creating living spaces that enhance well being. I see living spaces as living art that we get to live inside of. I believe that the design, comfort, and beauty of our living spaces impacts our nervous system as well as our mental and emotional states. Beautiful design literally changes how we feel in our bodies.

That idea became more validated for me through my own deep study and lived experience of trauma healing, therapy, nervous system regulation, and deep somatic work. I experienced over and over again how sensory design impacts my nervous system and I feel called to share this with others. 

Sensorial design considers the whole body. Sight, touch, sound, smell, and the atmosphere of a space working together to create a felt sense of calm, coziness, steadiness, presence, connection, safety, and feeling grounded. It is design that directly supports your wellbeing.

My fine art prints are created with this philosophy in mind. I have also personally curated a home decor collection from artisans and makers around the world. I choose pieces for texture, connection to nature, softness, warmth, and form that feels grounded. These are the kinds of objects that bring depth and presence and remind you it is safe to be in your body. 

I tested this design philosophy in real life through my vacation rental, The Farmhouse Oasis. A vacation rental I renovated, designed, and curated to feel like a nervous system reset. It now ranks in the top 1% of all Airbnb listings, with over 675 consecutive five-star reviews. Guests regularly tell me they want to bring the feeling home with them.

This is my passion and this is the heart of Sensorial Designs.

If you are building a home that feels like refuge, if you crave calm, if you notice texture and light, you are in the right place. I’m here to offer pieces that help your space feel grounded and help you feel more at home in your own body.
