We’ve got a VIDEO! Scroll down to watch and here’s a little backstory:

You may not realize that Centered by Design has a slogan, which is, Find Your Personal Sanctuary. While the idea of home as one’s sanctuary isn’t a novel concept, when I began working in the residential design field (while simultaneously still teaching a few yoga class a week) I noticed that my concept of personal sanctuary began shifting. Sanctuary was no longer just available in the yoga studio, on a mountain top or at a deserted beach – I was helping people create their very own version of sanctuary in their home! And that is how Centered by Design, and the tag-line Find Your Personal Sanctuary was born.

Fast-forward about two years, and I had the good fortune of working for talented clients who happen to run their own video production company, Digital Hydra. We put our creative heads together and came up with video you see here. I hope it will convey a little more about my design brand, my personality and the interior design process for prospective clients.

We shot the video over a Friday and Saturday morning, and visited some of my favorite Chicago spots and vendors, such as Jayson Home & Garden, Farrow & Ball, Heritage General Store and my new Lakeview studio location (more on that later this month!). The featured project towards the end of the video is our Lincoln Park Row House project.
