Your home is your autobiography.

Every room tells a story: where you've been, what you love, who you're becoming. I'll help you get in touch with yours, then design around it.

01 / How I love to work

You'll feel heard before you see a single swatch.

How I see things

How I solve things

How I use things

You'll feel understood.

You'll get clear answers.

You'll spend wisely.

I start by listening: how you live, what you love, what drives you crazy about the space. You won't get a room that looks like everyone else's. You'll get one that looks like you.

No vague mood boards. I'll tell you what's not working, why, and exactly what to do about it, whether that's a floor plan change before you build or one fix that makes the whole room click.

We start with what you already own and love. Anything I recommend, whether in a session or in my shop, has earned its place. You won't fill your home with things you'll regret in two years.

A second set of eyes, before it's built.

03 / Hello, I'm Aubs

Designing for my toughest client yet: me.

I've spent 15+ years as an interior designer, and I've watched plenty of trends come and go. What lasts is a home that actually looks like the people who live in it.

Alongside my fiancé, I co-own Adley & Elm, our design-build firm. Right now we're building our own home from the ground up, which means I'm once again designing for my toughest client: me.

Not everyone needs a full-service designer, but nearly everyone needs a design confidant, and that's my favorite role to play. I also write Letters from Home: honest notes on design and our build, sent straight to your inbox.

04 / Letters from Home

Every decision, out loud.
