Beauty and inspiration in my own backyard. What’s sparking some joy for you???

Walking into a space steeped in history and grand architecture always takes my breath away! ✨ There is a specific magic that happens when timeless elegance meets a deeply personal story. On Day 4 of Inspiration Week, we are exploring one of my favorite challenges at : how do we take a magnificent, soaring hall and make it feel like an intimate home for your celebration? 🏛️

Drawing from my years on Broadway stages, I approach large-scale event design like a director staging a scene. It is all about the flow of energy and the intentional placement of details that draw people in. To transform grandeur into warmth, we focus on sensory layers: the soft glow of candlelight reflecting off marble, the rich texture of a velvet runner, and the way a red carpet guides guests into a shared experience. My goal is always to honor the history of the venue while ensuring your unique personality is the true star of the show.

What is one architectural detail that always catches your eye when you walk into a beautiful room? Tell me below! 👇✨

There is a secret kind of magic in the “peek.” Welcome to day three of Inspiration Week! Today, we’re celebrating the Art of the Intimate Moment.

While grand ballrooms and sweeping floral installations are breathtaking, I truly believe it’s the quiet, tucked-away corners that hold the most heart. Look at this cozy nook at , framed beautifully by lush palm leaves. It’s a gentle invitation to slow down and breathe.

My philosophy is simple: every couple deserves to feel fully present and at ease. Drawing from my years in theater and opera, I know that the most powerful moments often happen in the stillness between the big acts. These small, intentional spaces allow for a private laugh and genuine connection amidst the grand celebration. We design every detail to reflect your story and make you feel right at home.

When you think back on your favorite events, is it the high-energy dance floor or the quiet, soulful conversations you remember most? Let’s chat in the comments!

Welcome to Day 1 of Inspiration Week! 🌟

I’ve always believed that if you look closely enough, the world reveals itself as a grand, living stage. Take these whimsical chimneys at : aren't they divine? To some, they’re just architecture, but to me, they are playful characters with silhouettes waiting to be translated into a beautiful event space.

My years performing on Broadway and in opera taught me that every detail on a stage contributes to the story’s magic. When I see these spiraling shapes, I immediately dream up dramatic floral installations or the curve of a custom lounge setup. This architectural whimsy reminds us that design should be a celebration of the unexpected!

I’m so thrilled to share my creative process with you all week. Make sure to follow along so you don’t miss our Inspiration Week series!

There’s a quiet magic in the everyday if we just look for it! ✨ As an event designer, I’ve found that the secret to creating truly intentional, one-of-a-kind celebrations is staying endlessly curious.

These Clematis blooming in my backyard recently stopped me in my tracks. My mind started racing: is it their cascading shape? That rich purple against the greenery? Or just the effortless elegance? I felt compelled to capture this because these are the sparks that eventually become a centerpiece or a color palette for a future project.

Inspiration isn’t about copying; it’s about keeping your heart open and asking "why" a detail moves you. By staying curious, we ensure every event is a genuine reflection of a unique story. I’m always adding to my "inspiration bank" to bring that same artistry and heart to your special day.

Making a green wall for an event was a first for me. I took a mobile wall from a classroom and wrapped it with a an outdoor patio rug. From there I attached handmade paper flowers (gotta love a cricket), attached a fun neon sign, and there you go! Garden party vibes with a little quirk and fun.

What an incredible journey it has been to design the most important gala of the year for Marywood University! This event was full of firsts for me, including working with a tent of this size and creating numerous custom pieces. I was given amazing support to bring my vision of an elevated garden party to life—modern and fantastical, infused with unique artistic elements for a touch of whimsy and flair.

Pulling this off truly took an army, and I couldn’t have asked for a better team at Gourmet to collaborate with. Every aspect was a team effort, from the uniquely curated food stations to the bars featuring made-from-scratch drinks, culminating in a dessert display that was simply breathtaking—people couldn’t believe it was edible!

There’s something magical about collaborating, listening, and creating as a team. I feel like I’ve gained a wonderful new family of event creatives who not only understand my vision but embrace my creative quirks. And on a fun note, I’ve never spent so many hours spray painting before!
