A Journey of Passion & Rediscovery
My love for homes began before I even knew what “interior design” meant. While other kids were playing with dolls, I was rearranging their dollhouse furniture, sketching layouts, collecting fabric scraps, and imagining dream spaces.
Still, when the time came to choose a path, I didn’t trust my passion. I played it safe. I studied foreign languages, moved back to England at 22, and had my beautiful daughter Ashanti Soleil. Four years later, I returned to Italy. She had fallen ill, and I needed to be surrounded by family. I thank God every day that she recovered.
But something inside me kept tugging. For years, I pushed my dream aside, always saying, “Maybe one day.” Until I finally asked myself, If not now, when?
So I took the leap. I dove headfirst into interior design, earning two degrees in Interior Design in Italy before later moving to Canada, where I completed another degree at "The Academy of Interior Design". It wasn’t easy. I studied late at night, worked hard, made sacrifices, and wrestled with doubt.
But the moment I completed my first project and saw my client’s eyes light up, I knew I was exactly where I was meant to be.
My Mission
When I look back I can still recall how much I missed the comfort and beauty of my first home, during those difficult first years in Italy.
It was more than a house - it was a feeling.
That contrast between spaces, and how profoundly it affected my well-being, stayed with me through the years. It taught me something I’ve never forgotten: our homes shape our lives.
Even when years passed, life moved on: I studied, traveled, started a family with Gabriele, was blessed with another child, our son Morgan Maria, that core belief, that home is everything, grew strong.
Unfortunately when the pandemic came, suddenly the whole world was reminded of what I had known deep down all along: our homes are not just backdrops to our lives. They are our lives. They hold our memories, our mornings, our quiet moments, our chaos, our healing.
During lockdown, like so many, I found myself in deep reflection. The walls around me became mirrors. And I realized, with even more clarity, that I wanted to help others create homes that support them — emotionally, physically, and mentally. Homes that nourish rather than drain. Homes that aren’t just styled for business or Social media purposes, but are designed with intention, soul, and real life in mind.
So I took my passion, my training, and my story — and turned it into a MISSION
Through my work and this platform, I share everything I’ve learned about making spaces that feel good and function beautifully. I’m here to guide you through the design process, to guide you along The Path to Design, whether you're re-imagining a single room or rebuilding your relationship with your entire home. I believe everyone deserves to love where they live, no matter their budget or background.
So, if you are feeling disconnected from your space, overwhelmed by design decisions, or just unsure of where to begin, I’m here to help you.
Welcome to my little corner of the design world!
This is me...a simple human that when not designing or writing, loves to explore cities rich in art and history, walking in nature, enjoying great food with family, sketching whatever inspires me, and getting lost in a good book.
I hope you find Comfort, Inspiration, and a Spark that helps you fall in love with your home all over again.
Happy Decorating!
