Home Styling and Editing - Make Room for What Matters
With over 25 years of experience styling photo shoots for leading magazines, I bring an editorial eye to helping people create homes that feel calm, functional, and deeply personal. My background spans interiors, lifestyle, food, fashion, and product styling. I began my career in Australia styling and writing about interior design and photographing homes for architecture and design magazines, and after moving to the Bay Area, I spent more than 15 years working as a freelance stylist with Sunset magazine.
Last year, I had the privilege of helping a widower reimagine his home after the loss of his wife. Together, we used decluttering as a gentle way to process grief and simplify his life. We transformed a much‑loved but cluttered office, keeping meaningful pieces that honored her, into a tranquil space for yoga, stretching, reading, and (just as importantly) watching football with his kids and grandkids. We also reorganized the kitchen, bathrooms, closets, dining room, and refreshed guest bedrooms, thoughtfully preparing belongings for family members to sort through.
My approach blends Marie Kondo–style joy‑based editing with the practicality of Swedish Death Cleaning—helping you keep what truly matters now, while reducing stress for loved ones later.
I love working with:
Busy families tackling clutter‑collector zones like kids’ rooms, playrooms, garages, pantries, and closets
Homeowners who want to feel more at ease in their space
Real estate agents preparing homes for stagers and sale
Drawing on decades of magazine styling, I help refine spaces so they feel serene, intentional, and beautiful, without losing warmth or personality.
I also offer guidance on furnishings, color, lighting, art placement, and styling, always aligned with your lifestyle, budget, and the architecture of your home. We work in thoughtful phases, regardless of scope or style.
If you’re ready to clear the clutter and come home to a space that truly supports you, I’d love to help.
