Hi, I’m Nancy…

I specialize in helping people design their second half of life. My Lifestyle Align Design System (LADS) focuses on the style of your home decor AND on how you want to live at this stage of your life.

My own story includes changing up my lifestyle and embracing more joy. I want to help others do the same.

In 2015, I made a radical personal move. After a lot of soul searching, my husband and I sold our suburban family home - the one the kids grew up in - and bought a smaller home at the beach. It was a big process, not only physically, but mentally too. I sold 80% of what I owned and embraced a completely new lifestyle. The transformation I experienced led me to develop my Lifestyle Align Design System.

I've been recognized for my work & the way I think about design.

I've been featured on HGTV’s House Hunters Renovation, The Pasadena Showcase House of Design, The Philharmonic Society of Orange County House of Design, Pasadena’s ASID Kitchen & Home Tour, The Los Angeles Times, CBS Los Angeles Local Newscast, Kitchen Trends Magazine, Bathroom Trends Magazine, NKBA Profiles Magazine, & The Laguna Design Center’s Entertaining By Design.

In addition to this,

I’ve been a Best of Houzz Award Winner, House Beautiful Online Blogger, Design Bloggers Conference Hall of Fame Nominee & askDECOR was named in the Modenus Top 100 Interior Design Blogs.
