Every design tells a story.

talented & thoughtful
"Working with Clare was an absolute pleasure! She completely transformed our space while making sure every detail reflected our style and needs. I really appreciated how communicative and attentive she was throughout the process - she always listened, offered great advice, and kept us updated every step of the way.
Clare has an incredible talent for creating spaces that are both beautiful and personal. She made our home feel warm, inviting, and truly "ours", which has meant so much after our move to Germany. One of the things we loved most was how she included our one-year-old son in her design—carefully considering his growth and development and incorporating Montessori-inspired elements that encourage independence and curiosity.
The end result is a space that feels both elevated and comfortable. I couldn't happier and highly recommend Clare, to anyone looking for a talented, thoughtful designer!"

optimized space
"Clare was the perfect answer to a specific scenario - I was moving out on my own and had the bones of a vision, but not the patience to build it as time allowed. I wanted this new space to feel like home ASAP. With an unusual layout to the apartment and a few of my general thoughts on the vibe, Clare was able to go through a progressive process that optimized the space for livability, occasional hosting, and felt curated without being overwrought.
I particularly credit her vision for the main living space to not be designed around a TV (instead making that the secondary room) -- a habit l've carried through two successive moves after working with her. It was incredibly helpful to have multiple items selected to fit the rendered layouts and flexible budget to decide what to splurge for and what to save on. Because it's Germany, I had to install a kitchen and Clare also offered input to that very large purchase to make the home feel cohesive.
Clare's also just a great person and it was fun to bounce ideas back and forth. Working with her felt like having your smartest friend give you advice that was perfectly suited to match your preferences."

lasting difference
"Before working with Clare, my home felt cluttered and didn't quite work for our daily life; it was overwhelming to even know where to start.
The process of working with Clare was collaborative and practical. She didn't impose a rigid style but listened to my needs and helped me see how to use furniture and decor I already owned in a completely new, more effective way. What surprised me most was how quickly the changes took hold; it wasn't just a one-time tidy-up, but a system that has evolved with our home.
Now, the space feels calmer, lighter, and infinitely more functional. The flow between rooms has improved dramatically, making our daily routines much easier. Clare masterfully struck the perfect balance between style and practicality, creating a home that looks beautiful but can also handle real life with preschoolers and Schulkind:)
I would absolutely recommend Clare to others. Her ongoing support and thoughtful approach have made a lasting difference, turning a stressful environment into a home we truly love."

inviting & welcoming
"I hired 2 other interior design specialists before I found Clare. Although I had a lot of nice furniture, fixtures, and paintings, my apartment didn’t feel like a home. With her expert eye, Clare made a few tweaks that really opened up my space to make it a more inviting and welcoming environment. When my extended family came for a visit, their first comment was “your place is really nice - it’s obvious you had some help!” Thanks Clare, can’t wait to work with you some more!"
-

elevated & organized
"Clare’s taste and natural talent for interior design and organization are impeccable. She was able to take by quirky (read: old, kind of funky) German apartment, and make it look elevated, stylish, and on-trend. She has such creative solutions for storage, so she has the perfect advice if you’ve had to downsize from your move. She also doesn’t need to completely rehaul your items to be able to change the feel and elevate the style of your rooms. She can give your space an entirely new look by choosing a few key replacements, and then primarily using the items you already have. I cannot recommend her enough."

sense of style
"I have zero sense for design and asked Clare to help me figure out why my dining area and living room felt so awkward. She quickly provided me "looks" that she felt would suit the space better and the changes she recommended, furniture, colors etc. made such a huge difference. She is my go to whenever I think of purchasing any items for my apartment as she has such an excellent sense of style."
