About Me
A Life Curator specializing in intentional organizing for those looking to live with greater clarity, meaning, and beauty. I am a guide to help people determine what objects best represent them and their life, and customizing client's homes with intentional organization and thoughtful displays that allow them to fully enjoy their home and perhaps even rediscover themselves in the process. Curating is the practice of discerning, sorting, and choosing objects in a way that makes the most sense. It is also choosing the objects that best exemplify the topic at hand. Life curation is sorting and choosing objects that best represent a life lived and an identity. This is not about minimalism or maximalism. It is about intentionally organizing and enjoying what you have. What began as impromptu sessions helping friends and family sort their homes and closets has become a calling in Mercury and Soul. I help people sift through the sediment of years of accumulated objects, identify the talismans of their lives, uncover the bedrock of what is most meaningful, and beautifully and practically organize your home. I have spent my life studying people and who they are — how identity and meaning take shape through relationships, culture, and the objects people keep, as a third-culture kid moving across continents, as a sociologist trained in qualitative methodologies to study people, as a CIA officer steeped in understanding humans and practiced in deep digging into records to uncover patterns and trends in a life. Mercury & Soul is where that lifelong curiosity in humanity and in the power of objects to distill identity found a home. I have exceptional discretion and understanding, with a love of research and creative problem-solving.
