“Pattern does not have to mean loud. It means considered. The difference is knowing which wall to put it on and which ones to leave alone.”

What I Cover

I cover bold, eclectic, and pattern-forward interiors. My content is for readers who want a room that has a genuine point of view, not just a backdrop for furniture. I write Think Noir's inspiration roundups and trend-led content.

I focus on feature wall placement, pattern mixing, and the design calls most people talk themselves out of. If a wallpaper is going to make a statement, I want to make sure it is saying the right thing in the right room. Most feature walls end up on the wrong wall. I cover why, and what to do instead.

Background

I am a self-taught interior enthusiast who spent three years styling rental apartments for short-term lets before moving into design content full time. That work gave me a sharp sense of what reads well in a real room versus what only works in a mood board. I bring the same instinct to my writing at Think Noir: less theory, more decisions.
