About Me
About the Founder
For over a decade, I've had the privilege of transforming homes into extraordinary holiday experiences—spaces where families gather, traditions are celebrated, and memories are made.
As the Founder and Creative Director of Merry & Bright Studio, I specialize in luxury residential holiday design, creating bespoke seasonal installations that feel timeless, elegant, and deeply personal. Every project is thoughtfully curated to complement each home's architecture, reflect each family's traditions, and become part of the memories they'll cherish for years to come.
What began as a single conversation unexpectedly became the foundation of Merry & Bright Studio.
While meeting with a graphic design client in my home, he admired my Christmas tree and asked, "Who decorated your tree?" When I told him I had designed it myself, he asked if I would decorate his home for Christmas.
That home—the Reggio Residence in Old Metairie—became my very first holiday installation and marked the beginning of a journey that continues today.
Since then, I've designed and installed hundreds of holiday displays across Louisiana, from intimate family homes to large-scale luxury residences and commercial properties. My signature style combines layered textures, sophisticated color palettes, custom ribbon artistry, and carefully curated decorative elements that create a sense of wonder while maintaining an elevated, editorial aesthetic.
Every project is personally designed and overseen from concept to installation, ensuring a seamless, concierge-level experience from beginning to end.
Today, Merry & Bright Studio serves discerning homeowners who value craftsmanship, timeless design, and the joy of creating unforgettable holiday traditions.
How I got hooked
Christmas has never simply been a holiday to me—it's always been a feeling.
Some of my earliest memories are of decorating alongside my family, filling our home with music, lights, and the excitement that only Christmas morning could bring. I was captivated by beautifully decorated homes and the warmth they created, long before I ever imagined it would become my career.
Those childhood memories continue to inspire every design I create today.
When I decorate a home, I'm not simply placing ornaments on a tree or hanging garland on a staircase. I'm designing the backdrop where children will open presents, grandparents will gather around the table, friends will celebrate, and traditions will be passed from one generation to the next.
That is what drives every project at Merry & Bright Studio.
Our Philosophy
We believe holiday decorating should feel intentional—not overwhelming.
Every ribbon is selected with purpose.
Every ornament is placed to create balance, movement, and depth.
Every collection is custom designed to reflect the home's architecture, the family's traditions, and the way they celebrate the season.
We don't simply decorate homes.
We create signature holiday collections that become part of a family's story for years to come.
Christmas Starts With a Vision
Long before the first ornament is hung, every unforgettable holiday begins with a vision.
While others wait for the season to arrive, we're already designing extraordinary homes for Christmases yet to come—carefully planning every detail so that installation day feels effortless and magical.
Because the most memorable holidays aren't created in December.
They're thoughtfully designed months in advance.
