At Citrus Design Style, our approach can be captured in 3 words:
Bold Method Connection
Bold - Thinking outside the 'white space’ is our sweet spot - we love to explore the kaleidoscope of colour, pattern & texture the world offers. We will be adventurous in our design and encourage you to come with us on the journey outside of your comfort zone. Don't worry, when your project is complete, it will have been worth it! (this is the artsy part of what we do)
Method - Design and decorating are fun and terrific however, without detailed processes, the wheels just might fall off. We have streamlined practices in place to keep projects on track and you informed. (this is the science part of what we do)
Connection - We appreciate how important a natural connection is in cultivating authentic relationships. This allows us to create meaningful experiences together. (and it's important that we have some fun along the way)
That may sound like a cliché, but it’s absolutely true. Interior design & decorating was an unanswered passion of mine for a long time. My family and friends have called me a “creative” person for most of my life and so, finally, I have surrendered to the call. The very public arena of design – a creative space that has always excited and inspired me – is my new, true home
I spent 25 years designing, creating and managing both large and small corporate meetings and travel incentive programs. These events were designed to both reward people and wrap them in an immersive experience of luxury and style. Event Management is both an art and a science. It’s the artful ability to conceptualize an idea that creates a unique experience combined with the smart science of managing the countless details that bring the vision to life. Enter interior design & decorating.
I believe that the essence of my design approach is in helping people discover and embrace their true and personal style. Once that is established, I can put on my business hat and funnel the many, many available choices and seamlessly bring it all together.
Styling cues for me have always been inspired by nature. (I know that sounds like a familiar tune, but it’s true!)
I live on 100 beautiful acres in southern Peterborough County, so I have lots of nature to be inspired by.
I find joy in the fact that nature blends, nurtures, soothes and beckons. And your personal spaces should too.
