ABOUT

A DIFFERENT WAY
OF SEEING THINGS

The Discerning Edit was born from a simple belief: beautiful spaces aren't always about having more.  Sometimes, they're about seeing what you have differently.

​

With an eye for balance, proportion, and unexpected pairings, I reimagine interiors using the furniture, décor, and meaningful pieces you already own.

AN EXPERIENCED EYE

My background in home furnishings, styling and visual merchandising includes working with Pottery Barn, IO Metro, and serving as Director of The Gallery, where I led a team of designers.

​

As the founder of Wonder & Whimsy Events, I extended my passion for interiors into the design of distinctive event spaces and thoughtfully curated celebrations.  

​

Over the years, my work and expertise have been featured in publications including The Wall Street Journal, KC Homes & Design, CBS Radio, The Pitch, Feast Magazine, and Lifestyle Magazine.

​

These influences have shaped the way I approach a space today, with an appreciation for balance, character, and the possibilities in pieces people already own.
