Pangaea Interior Design, Inc.

As far back as I can remember I’ve been aware of how my own sense of well-being is impacted by my visual and physical environment and my daily life either enhanced or hindered by the arrangement of my belongings. Off-the-shelf options always seem to me to fall short of the mark, where original or customized solutions are deeply satisfying to me in their ability to maximize their impact and for the sheer pleasure of the unique. My own fascination with the interaction of people with their surroundings translates into an ability to fit a design to the person or family who will inhabit the space. I believe looks alone don’t cut it when it comes to our homes. Over the years in my own home remodeling projects I took a hands-on approach, partly from financial necessity and partly so that I could get exactly what I wanted. I’ve rolled up my sleeves to tile floors, shower enclosures and back-splashes. I’ve built custom cabinetry, sewn custom window treatments and hand-troweled textures on walls and ceilings. All of this hands-on work has given me a good working knowledge of processes and a deep and abiding appreciation for the work done by professional fabricators, trades-persons, artisans and contractors.
