Hi there!

We are all designers of our own lives, making hundreds of design choices every day. As a trained attorney and interior designer/blogger, I naturally think in terms of both beauty and function when designing my life for my family, my home, and myself. At DYL, I share what I’ve learned along the way, and even the things I’m still figuring out, about designing my life and home. My hope is that I can help YOU in the design of YOURS.
