At Forget Me Not Interior Design LLC, design is about far more than creating beautiful spaces; it is about helping homeowners elevate one of their most meaningful investments while creating homes that feel timeless, functional, welcoming, and deeply personal. A well-designed home should not only look beautiful, but also feel effortless to live in and truly connected to the people who gather there.
With a background managing multi-million-dollar budgets, leading high-performance teams, and overseeing complex operations, transitioning into interior design was a natural evolution of both my professional experience and lifelong passion for design, planning, and project management. More than 25 years ago, I drew and designed our first 3,200-square-foot custom home in the Beach View section of Stafford Township. My husband and I then built that home in just five months by carefully assembling and managing an exceptional team of contractors and craftsmen. Since then, we have completed multiple home renovations, investment property remodels, and large-scale projects, providing firsthand experience in both the creative and logistical sides of construction and design.
Those experiences organically led to the creation of a business grounded in practical construction knowledge, creative vision, strategic planning, budgeting expertise, and strong communication. Combined with a master’s degree in business and years of hands-on project experience, my approach brings together thoughtful design and organized project leadership, an invaluable combination for homeowners navigating renovations, new builds, and large-scale furnishing projects.
As a lifelong resident who grew up on the island and later raised our family on the mainland while remaining deeply connected to the LBI community, I have developed a unique understanding of both the coastal lifestyle and the needs of homeowners who live, vacation, and invest here. Over the years, those roots have allowed me to build strong relationships with a trusted network of local contractors, craftsmen, and industry professionals. These long-standing partnerships provide significant value to my clients by helping ensure quality workmanship, reliable execution, efficient coordination, and a smoother experience throughout every phase of a project.
Continuing education and staying current in the constantly evolving design and construction industries remain important parts of that process. From kitchen and bath innovations to lighting, materials, functionality, and coastal living trends, remaining informed allows me to provide clients with the best ideas, products, and solutions available for their homes while balancing timeless design with livable luxury.
Today, I work with homeowners throughout Long Beach Island and the surrounding coastal communities who want more than simply a decorated home; they want a thoughtfully curated retreat designed around the way they live, entertain, relax, and spend time with family and friends. Many of my clients reside outside the area and rely on a trusted professional to oversee their projects with organization, discretion, attention to detail, and consistent communication throughout the process.
Whether the project involves a full-scale renovation, a new build, a seasonal refresh, or turnkey interior design services, my goal is to make the experience feel exciting rather than overwhelming while removing much of the burden from the homeowner. Through thoughtful design, trusted local trade relationships, experienced project leadership, and detailed coordination, I help homeowners create refined yet welcoming spaces that feel timeless, functional, and beautifully tailored to the way they live, gather, and enjoy their homes for years to come.
The end result is livable luxury, thoughtfully curated coastal homes that feel elevated, comfortable, and effortlessly connected to your lifestyle.
