DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

Maggie truly believes that every budget can afford great style. There are so many ingenious furniture, wallpaper, textile and art designers and makers that are making great design more and more accessible on a budget. There is always a way to brighten up any space, and not have to dish out thousands of dollars to do so. You see it everyday on HGTV, so why not have it happen in your space!

Maggie is here to help you get great style, fast. She particularly loves taking a client's aesthetic and taste and creating an oasis of possibility out of what she can find around NYC or make herself. She relies on quality furniture, online shopping,  DIY techniques, hustling for the best deals, and a little bit of elbow grease to make each space she designs different, fun, happy and beautiful for the people that live in them. It can be hard to see what you need to change in your own space, or too difficult to start the process, she's here to help and give you a fresh perspective on what you already have. She'll never tell you to throw anything out, she works with what is there and uses everything she can to bring out the best with what you have.
