I am keenly attuned to the power and beauty of good design, a reflection of my 20+ year career as a curator, critic, and publisher in the visual arts. The Bay Area is unique in its history of styles that pay homage to the region’s geography and cultures, and I love sharing the details that give people new perspectives on familiar places.

I am expert in using spaces to tell stories, whether they may be of embedded histories or of future potential. I am known for asking good questions that bring important information to light. My clients experience my unfailing enthusiasm, inquisitive nature, discerning attention to details, high standards, and thoughtful consideration of their needs.

I have lived in the East Bay for over two decades. My dog Jake is a loyal customer of the local shops in our Rockridge neighborhood; he knows where all the good dog treats are to be found. During free moments you can find me attending local theater, hiking amongst the redwoods in Joaquin Miller, hunting for mid-century treasures in vintage shops, or visiting an artist-run gallery downtown. I am forever trying to find room on my bookshelves for one more sci-fi novel or exhibition catalogue.

I remain a dedicated supporter of local artists and in creating opportunities for their visions to be realized. There is nowhere comparable to the East Bay for its combination of culture, beauty, and unending distinctive pleasures waiting to be discovered.
