What inspired you to start a furniture collection, and how did you get started in the industry?
It has been a dream of mine to create my own collection of furniture. My background in fashion and a love for interiors helped to provide a firm understanding of what I want to convey through my furnishings. And I’ve always had a love of home, which started when I was very young. My dad was a builder, and I would tag along on jobs and it gave me a greater appreciation for the process and the joy that home provides.

How do you approach designing furniture that is both beautiful and functional?
I aim to create items that are inspiring and beautiful, but are still functional for everyday life . I don’t have rooms in my house that are off limits for our children, so I wanted to reflect that in this collection as well. Many of the upholstery fabrics handle stains well with the high performance fabrics and are easily cleanable.

What sets your collection apart from others in the market?
The sheer intention of my collections makes them unique. I don’t set out to create something that fits a particular need in the marketplace. Instead I come from a place of intention. What designs can we develop that will bring about a sense of love and a feeling of serenity in your home. We also worked to bring something that offers affordable luxury to your home. Allowing you to have pieces that make your home more beautiful while also being versatile for everyday living.
Can you talk about any challenges you faced while developing your collection and how you overcame them?
Tranquility was developed during the pandemic, which meant we couldn’t gather in person and discuss designs as we normally would. So the team pivoted and we created Tranquility entirely in a virtual and digital environment, using Zoom calls and emails.

What do you hope customers will feel or experience when they bring your collection into their homes?
My hope is that my Tranquility collection brings a soothing sense of calm and nurturing energy to your home. The soft curves throughout the collection are designed to feel welcoming and comfortable. I hope it brings an effortless ease of elegance to your home.
