“My passion for art and design knows no period or style boundaries. I think that spaces are highly evolved and timeless when they have a mix of periods and styles.  Design Diversity is my mantra and Eclectic is truly my namesake.  I strive to create environments that are a true reflection of the client’s personality.”
