The Story Behind Linen & Lantern…
I’ve always believed that the most beautiful homes aren't created overnight or filled with catalog-bought furnishings. They are thoughtfully collected over time, layered with memories, meaningful pieces, favorite travels, and the stories of the people who live there.
That’s the heart behind Linen & Lantern.
I help women in life's next chapter and empty nesters create warm, timeless interiors by thoughtfully editing what they already own, honoring cherished family heirlooms, and introducing just the right new additions. The result? A home that feels beautifully collected, not just decorated.
A Background Built on Style, Story & Space
My path to interior styling hasn’t been a straight line, but every chapter has shaped how I approach your home today.
With a degree in Fashion Design & Marketing, my career path led me to positions as a buyer, jewelry designer, and personal stylist for iconic luxury retailers like Saks Fifth Avenue and Henri Bendel. Later, as the buyer and merchandiser for an award-winning Arizona golf resort, I collaborated closely with interior designers and custom furniture manufacturers to furnish and style the property’s new clubhouse. It was there that I realized my true calling: applying wardrobe styling principles to the home.
After stepping away from the fashion industry to raise my family, I earned my real estate license and joined Sotheby’s. While guiding clients through real estate transactions, I found myself drawn to a different part of the journey. I loved helping sellers prepare their listings by using what they already owned, editing clutter, rearranging layouts, selecting paint colors, and styling inviting rooms. Before long, my buyers were asking me to style their new homes, and fellow Realtors were referring clients for redesign guidance.
In 2018, I founded Linen & Lantern to bridge my backgrounds in fashion, merchandising, real estate, and interior design and styling into one seamless service built around one simple truth: every home has a story worth telling.
Today’s Chapter
My work goes beyond standard interior design. I specialize in helping clients navigate life’s transitions, whether you’re newly empty nesters, blending inherited antiques with newer pieces, relocating, or simply ready for a home that reflects who you are today rather than twenty years ago. And for those preparing to sell, I bring years of real estate and staging experience to help your home make a beautiful first impression.
Based in the Phoenix area, I work with clients throughout the Valley, virtually anywhere, and in Greater Boston during scheduled visits. My personal aesthetic is rooted in my New England upbringing with coastal summers, a Southwestern lifestyle, and my deep love for European culture and architecture. I am drawn to organic textures, antiques, botanical accents, and homes that feel deeply welcoming, lived-in but uncluttered, and unmistakably personal.
When I’m not styling homes for clients, you’ll likely find me wandering local shops and antique markets to hunt for unique decor, planning my next vacation, or spending time with my husband, our three sons (often on a lacrosse field), and our two dogs. I love reading, cooking, and learning how to garden in the desert.
I’d be honored to help you create a home that reflects your story and the life you are living today.
