Brooklyn, New York

     Hello! I'm a Brooklyn based freelance prop, event, interior stylist & designer. My styling foundation comes from 15 yrs in the Fashion Industry, as a designer as well as a visual merchandiser, earning degrees from The Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC. Always eager to try my hand at any creative area that interests me; my experience also includes window displays, showroom merchandising and creating aesthetics for events & the home- from floral arrangements to custom furniture. I eventually discovered that my obsession with collecting & curating and my ability to create a strong composition should be applied to prop styling for commercial photography.

     My life long artistic curiosity, creative eye, attention to detail and design training naturally lend themselves to prop, event and interior styling. I believe styling & designing should be emotional- playing off a memory, a mood, a story. I bring the same approach to styling a vignette for a magazine spread, as I do to decorating your living room, the table at your best friend's baby shower or designing your perfect home accessory. I offer services in photo styling, interior and event styling, as well as custom home and event decor design.

Clients include Belle Maison Design Studio, Chobani, ColorFly Home, Irwin Garden Swimwear, KidPik, Lather, Magnusson Architecture, Martha Stewart for Staples, Mayo Studios, Merkts Cheese Spread, Parc Office, Patrick J Clayton Productions, PJCFLWRS by Patrick J Clayton Productions, Pure Bloom, Rock Paper Scissors Events, Snakku, Tinsel & Twine, Tipster
