What’s Space Magic?
My Approach
If you are dreaming of something different but aren’t sure where to start or how to make it happen, I can help. I’m an artist, teacher, and gardener and I’ve been helping people create spaces they love for over 25 years. I’ll ask you questions, listen, make suggestions, and together we’ll find a way to a space you love. Keeping my clients’ preferences in mind, I share why some things might work better than others, aiming to demystify basic design principles and give you tools you can use again and again.
Core Principles of Space Magic
Personal Authenticity First: Spaces should reflect the people who inhabit them. Your preferences, needs, and vision are the foundation of any successful transformation—I bring expertise, but you bring the essential ingredient: what makes you feel at home.
Possibility Over Perfection: Most spaces have untapped potential within their existing boundaries. By questioning assumptions and reimagining what's possible, we can discover creative solutions that weren't initially apparent.
Meaningful Minimalism: Significant transformations often come from thoughtful editing and rearrangement rather than acquiring new things. Simple changes can create profound shifts in how a space functions and feels.
Balance of Art and Science: Great spaces blend subjective preferences with objective design principles. I demystify why certain arrangements work better than others, empowering you with knowledge you can apply independently.
Spaces as Emotional Support: Transformed environments do more than please the eye—they reflect personal growth, ease transitions, reduce stress, and actively support your emotional needs like calm, clarity, or creativity.
