Hello

My interest in design goes back as far as I could remember. While other middle schoolers were likely watching MTV or hanging out at the mall, I was watching Christopher Lowell and asking my parents for design books. While I went to school for psychology and earned a Masters in Education, my love for design never went away. Soon after having my first child, I began looking for ways to decorate my home on a tight budget. I began refinishing furniture, scouring online resale sites and thrift shops to create a home that was uniquely mine. Soon this hobby grew into a furniture refinishing business, which was soon followed by the creation of my home decore pop up shop, Portland Row Studio. Portland Row Studio was a curated collection of antique and new decor in my signature style. As the retail landscape changed dramatically with the onset of Covid, I decided to change my focus to the actual process and execution of design, and thus Portland Row Living was born!
