A Bit About Me
I'm a Manhattan girl at heart — born and raised in the city that never sleeps, with summers split between the breezy sophistication of the Hamptons and the electric, sun-soaked magic of Rio de Janeiro. Those early years shaped everything: my eye for beauty, my love of culture, and my absolute refusal to settle for anything less than extraordinary.
Life took me across the world — London's timeless elegance, Paris's unmatched romance, LA's effortless cool, Miami's bold vibrancy — and every city left its fingerprints on my taste and my vision. Traveling wasn't just a luxury for me; it was an education.
These days, you'll find me right where I'm meant to be — Raleigh, NC. Yes, you read that right. This city is having a moment, and I had to be here for it. Raleigh is the perfect blend of Southern warmth and modern sophistication, and watching it glow up in real time is honestly one of the most exciting things I've witnessed. I'm not just living here — I'm invested.
But my greatest design project? My life. I married my absolute best friend, and together God blessed us with two kids who are, without a single doubt, the greatest in the world — I don't make the rules.
I created Upgraded Home Finds as a space where luxury meets livability — where you don't have to choose between beautiful and real.
