I want consumers to feel like the lighting is art! Scultpural components mixed with beautiful finishes to combine form with function.

Cortney is based on a modern take on a traditional dome light. The layers of glass and metal with their soft curves give these pieces a whimsical quality. Layers are an important part of my design aesthetic and this line reflects just that.

Jen is based off my love of both fashion and form.  Soft textures combined with color give Jen's simple shape an elevated "look at me" moment. This piece is very inspired by love of color. It was incredibly important to me to have a color pop in my collection!

Kelsey is a mix of how I envision florals combined with a nod to edgy 80's design for a twist on a modern retro piece.  This line strikes a balance for me that is both a little masculine and a little feminine.

Madeline was inspired by taking the idea of a petal shape in a different direction with texture that lends a softness to the piece reminiscent of a delicate flower. Madeline was inspired by my daughter, Madeline. Soft and sweet but strong just like my little girl.

Meshelle is whimsical with her umbrella shape and texture evoking a little bit of whimsical side with the sophistication of luxe materials.  I have always had a thing for the charm of umbrellas and parasols ever since I was a kid.  

Regina is fun, funky, and flexible with her mix of textures, sculptural nature and has versatility for a variety of looks.  This piece was inspired by a wooden Danish sculpture floor lamp I have been obsessing over. And I really wanted to experiment with a lamp base that was asymmetrical in design but also grounded in a darker finish.

Robyn is everything in all the ways.  She is the most fun piece refusing to shy from her fun nature, love of color and statement scale. I have always the scale and funk of loved oversized, mid-century lamps, and this was an opportunity for me to design my own modern interpretation.

Sara is my take on a classic vintage fixture with ridged glass that feels timeless as well as versatile. The Sara table lamps were an opportunity to use that same shape inspiration but with utilizing color, which is so important to my art background.

Victoria is based on my love for sculptural mobiles with their soft petal shapes and mobility; both sweet and strong with adjustability. I really wanted to play with scale in this line. Classic oversized globes combined wtih a modern artistic flair.
