Tell us about AGA Interior Design, why you started it and how you help your clients. I discovered my passion for design at an early age, while growing up in an antique home filled with wide plank floor boards and a beehive oven. I would frequently find paint and fabric samples as my parents worked room by room to renovate our historic home. The biggest thrill was when I selected my bedroom wallpaper in the fourth grade, the cheerful yellow and floral pattern still lines the walls today. After graduating from Hobart & William Smith Colleges and honing my skills at Kuhn Riddle Architects and Susan Reddick Design, I took the leap to start taking on my own clients. I founded AGA Interior Design in 2014, while working with Cowtan & Tout, a national textile company and subsidiary of England’s renowned Colefax & Fowler. My signature style showcases a curated mix of warm color palettes, comfortable furnishings, and layered textures. Each project is sophisticated and timeless, while remaining functional and welcoming. I pride myself on my involvement from the first preliminary phone call to the final installation. I find that this hands-on approach ensures that the final result is perfectly tailored to each client. My greatest joy is seeing our happy clients at the completion of a project.
