Hello, I'm Hope.
Color and interior designer, lifelong room-rearranger. Naples in the winter, the Jersey Shore in the summer.
Design that feels like home, only better.
I believe the most beautiful homes are the ones that feel effortless: rooms that welcome you in, let the light do its work, and hold the things you love.
My design career grew out of a simple joy: walking into a room and seeing what it could become. Over the years I've had the privilege of helping families across New Jersey reimagine their homes, from grand entries and vaulted great rooms to the small, unforgettable spaces like a powder room that makes guests linger.
My style is classic at heart with a playful streak. I love a limewashed wall, a sparkling chandelier, a great pattern used with confidence, and furniture that's as comfortable as it is good-looking. Every project starts with listening, because your home should tell your story, not mine.
Now I'm bringing that approach to Naples. The Gulf Coast light, the soft sea-glass palette and the indoor-outdoor way of living here are an absolute dream to design for, and I can't wait to help new neighbors create homes that feel as relaxed and elegant as the setting.

Light first
Every plan begins with how the sun moves through your home. Palettes, fabrics and layouts are chosen to glow in the morning and feel cozy at dusk.
Livable luxury
Beautiful should never mean fragile. I specify performance fabrics, durable finishes and furniture you can truly sink into: made for grandkids, guests and sandy feet.
Personal & present
You'll work with me directly, from the first walk-through to the final pillow. I keep my roster small so every client gets my full attention.
Two coasts, one eye
Moving to Naples later this year is a dream come true, both personally and creatively. Southwest Florida homes ask for a lighter hand: breezy linens, natural textures like rattan and rope, washed woods, and color borrowed from the water and sky.
We also understand the practical side of life here: many clients split the year between homes, so we manage projects while you're away, look after the house between visits, and time every install so your home is ready and waiting the day you arrive.
And come summer, you'll find me back up north. The Jersey Shore has my heart, and during the summer months I take on projects there, in New York City and out in the Hamptons, from beach-house refreshes to city apartments.
A calm, collaborative process
Designing a home should be exciting, not stressful. You'll always know what's happening next, what it costs, and when it arrives. I handle the details, the vendors and the logistics, so you get to enjoy the fun part.
Whether you're furnishing a new condo in Park Shore, renovating a family home in Pelican Bay, refreshing a beloved cottage in Olde Naples, or opening up a Shore house for the summer, I'd love to hear about it.
