The single most important key to success is to be a good listener.

The best thing I ever bought is a vintage Oscar de la Renta short gingham dress that I wore to my rehearsal dinner the night before my wedding.

I love history... everything is inspired by history, so that's why I love vintage and antiques.

I love to travel and to be inspired by new things, so everything is always new. I've never done the same bathroom or the same kitchen a second time. It's challenging, and I like to be challenged.

Informed clients are better clients, and they make for better design.

There is a voice, and there is a DNA to how I design.

Every year, my boys and I create new cool gift wrap paper. We hand paint the design and come up with interesting ways to wrap each gift.
