I’ve always believed that a home should feel like a reflection of who you are becoming. Before I ever curated a shelf or refinished a dresser, I was a singer, dancer, and actor—someone who learned early how to express emotion through movement, color, and presence. That creative foundation shaped everything I do now. It taught me to see beauty in detail, to trust instinct, and to honor the stories objects carry.

My journey took me from New York City to Amsterdam, two places that sharpened my eye for craftsmanship and design. In New York, I learned to appreciate boldness—the kind of style that refuses to whisper. In Amsterdam, I learned to slow down and study the way something is made: the joinery of a chair, the weight of a ceramic bowl, the intention behind a glaze. Those years taught me that quality isn’t loud; it’s deliberate.

The Marian Collection was born from that blend of artistry, curiosity, and lived experience. It’s named for my grandmother, Marian Adams, whose home was a masterclass in fearless, eclectic style. She mixed colors, eras, and textures with a confidence that felt effortless. Her influence is in everything I curate—the maximalist palettes, the unexpected pairings, the belief that a room should feel collected rather than decorated.

Today, I source vintage décor, furniture, and artisanal home goods that carry both character and craftsmanship. I specialize in custom refinishing, transforming pieces with new life while honoring their history. I also partner with a trusted upholstery shop to help clients reimagine their heirloom chairs, sofas, and statement pieces. Whether it’s a bold lacquered dresser, a re-stained mid-century table, or a newly upholstered vintage chair, I love helping people see what a piece could become.

At the heart of my work is a simple purpose: I want people to feel confident embracing their own style. Not the trends. Not the rules. Their style. I believe your home should evolve with you—growing richer, braver, and more personal over time.

The Marian Collection is my way of helping people build spaces that feel like them. Spaces with soul. Spaces with story. Spaces that invite you to live boldly.
