Not Your Average HGTV

Anyone can copy a trend or recreate a Pinterest board.
But a home that actually feels like you—one that reflects how you live, what you value, and the decisions you make every day—requires more than matching finishes.

This is where you learn how to think about design.
Why certain choices work, how context changes outcomes, and how to develop judgment over time.

It’s not about quick fixes or shopping lists.
It’s about building a point of view—so your home becomes intentional, personal, and enduring.

Design Education You Can Return To

What This Is

  • Essays and videos on design judgment
  • Frameworks for evaluating spaces, materials, and choices
  • Context for why things work (or don’t)
  • A place to sharpen taste and decision-making over time

What This is Not

  • Not a course
  • Not a step-by-step program
  • Not personalized guidance

If you want decisions made with you, that work happens in Groups.
