about

I am a tastemaker, curator, and designer whose eye was built across fifteen years at the intersection of art, architecture, and the spaces people inhabit.

My curatorial point of view is to create feeling in a room. How objects speak to each other. How light changes the emotional temperature of a space. How one unexpected thing—a vessel, a painting, a material—makes everything around it suddenly make sense. I have spent my life doing exactly that.

For a decade I served as a curator and advisor at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art—one of the most ambitious cultural institutions of my generation. I led the relocation and permanent reinstallation of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Bachman-Wilson House. I directed architectural expansions and exhibitions. I shaped collection development at institutional scale. I worked directly alongside some of the most significant architects and artists alive.

That work pulled me into the private world. Collectors needed someone who understood not just what to acquire but how art lives in a space—how it breathes with the architecture, shifts with the light, changes what a room means. I began building collections for some of the most discerning private clients, advising on residences, shaping the environments around the work. One project led to another. Restaurants. Hotels. Private clubs. New builds alongside architects. The brief kept changing. My approach never did.

I find what is already alive in a place—its character, its lineage, its light—and I build toward that. Through the layering of art, object, material, and story I coach out the soul of a space and make it visible. I don’t impose a style. I listen. I look. I lean in.

This new chapter is about taking everything I’ve mastered and feeding it into a singular design vision—layered, art-focused, architecturally expressive, and deeply informed. Spaces that are collectible in the way great art is collectible. Saturated with meaning, craft, and point of view. Built to endure.
