Hi, I’m Sally.
The thread of my work has been bringing out the best in others—helping people express their innate creativity. From the music business to the world of innovation and interior design, I’m having the most fun when making things with other people.
Almost two decades at a global design and innovation consultancy as a leader in culture and communications taught me about collaboration, listening, and the power of a thoughtfully designed experience. Prior to that, I was a concert promoter and artist manager, using my tenacity for problem-solving and empathy for the creative spirit to nurture the careers of emerging bands.
In working with you, I will combine all of this experience in creative collaboration to make your home more functional, more beautiful, more joyful, and more you. The design process is a journey—never linear, often overwhelming, and lots of fun. You can expect candid and consistent communication, patience, and empathy as we make your visions into something real.
Finally, being inspired is a big part of the job. I find inspiration in Mother Nature (the best designer), travel, music, art, film, and my three children.
Design Services
Paint, Wallpaper, Furniture, and Art
Maybe you’re making some cosmetic changes and would love an experienced eye. Fresh paint, wallpaper, textiles, and art used in the right spots can transform a room. Whether you’re starting from scratch or are circling around a few selections and need a vote of confidence, I’d love to help.
Kids’ spaces
As a mom of three, I have empathy for all the stakeholders here - the kids, the parents, and the stuffies. Children’s unbridled creativity is an inspiration, and I love to design with them. Their spaces need creative storage solutions, joyful color palettes, and flexibility as they grow.
Remodels and Renovations
There’s a good reason many people put off getting that remodel started. It’s hard to know where to start. For this full-service offer, I will guide you through from concept to implementation, creating floor plans, inspiration boards, and final design drawings for your contractor so that all you have to do is figure out how to make dinner without a kitchen. (Hint: an electric wok is your friend!)
If your project needs an architect, then I’ll help you with fixtures, finishes, furniture, and all the final details to make sure the combined result is everything you dreamed.
In either case, I will help you navigate the journey. My 20+ year career in creative industries as a liaison and advocate for teams, business leaders and clients means I can hold the complexity of the decision making process while making sure you feel heard.
Getting unstuck
Making decisions about our homes can be daunting, even when there’s a desire to make change. For some, it’s the terror of a trip to IKEA. For others, it’s the paralysis of how to make the perfect gallery wall, which shade of blue to paint the bedroom, or how to shop smart at the flea market.
Whatever is overwhelming you, I can lower the stress and increase the confidence. We can meet at the tile store, the framing gallery, or (my favorite) - the flea market. In a few hours together we’ll roll-up our sleeves, get you unstuck and get it done.
