For as long as I can remember, I have loved design. My first “project” was my own bedroom in elementary school, and by middle school I was obsessively watching Trading Spaces and House Hunters. My mother’s love of antiques and desire to have a show-worthy home, plus my father’s avid appreciation for garage sale treasures and thrifting were huge contributors as well. I was often the college roommate to design the house, and have had a storage unit for pieces that “I’ll have room for one day” follow me around from city to city for years.
The journey of Indigo + Fern began with a love for sustainable design which started with handmade textiles, and now has evolved to a service and education-based approach supporting the local community and beyond. In my opinion, there is no place more important than the home to be not only fabulous and functional, but also cozy, collected, and tell the story of YOU.
.My design aesthetic would be best described as a healthy mix of both modern and vintage, with an eclectic, bohemian flair.
I am a sucker for rich colors, earthy elements, vintage pieces, copper kitchenware, and anything with fringe. Oh and plants, all the plants.
You can often find me smelling old books at a local thrift store, foraging my yard for seasonal greenery, or painting something in my driveway.
