When I began my journey in design, the prevailing idea was that beauty is the ultimate goal. Elsie De Wolfe once said, "I am going to make everything around me beautiful – that will be my life,"
But over the years, my perspective evolved, and design began to mean more to me than just visual appeal. Now, I design spaces that are not only beautiful but also functional, intentional, and unique.
Introducing A Design Lifestyle Journal:
With over fifteen years of industry experience, I have abundant knowledge to share, and I am thrilled to announce the launch of A Design Lifestyle Journal! The acronym ADL stands for 'A Design Lifestyle,' where design serves a high purpose in your everyday life. More than just a publication, I will provide expert advice, personally vetted products, and accessible resources to help you design the life you've always dreamed of. With a strong belief that design should empower, this journal aims to guide you in realizing your design goals and how to incorporate them into your home.
The Essence of ADL:
Imagine putting design at the forefront of your life, in all the areas of your home, and living your best life possible. At ADL, I overlook traditional design boundaries and embrace your vision so that we can make your home feel beautiful to YOU."Designing your home is more than just beauty; it's about creating a lifestyle that inspires and enhances your daily experience."
- Jacqueline Norrise
With over a decade of experience, ADL extends its expertise beyond conventional boundaries, fostering a lifestyle where every corner exudes purpose and charm. I create an environment that aligns with your values and beliefs to build your home into a space that reflects what truly matters to you.
The ADL Difference:
Academically speaking, interior design has seven core principles:
- balance
- harmony
- rhythm
- scale
- emphasis
- contrast
- and details
While these principles serve as the foundation of the design process, I understand that designing your home is about more than just making it visually appealing. My design services are approached with thoughtfulness, ensuring that functionality and uniqueness are carefully considered. Your home should reflect what matters to you the most!
Where It All Began:
I started a blog to share my unique style and design philosophy in 2014 (Has it been 10 years already?) Design can be a powerful tool in improving the look and feel of your home. It can also inspire you in other areas of your life, so I started the blog to inspire and support others. With over a hundred projects under my belt, my commitment to enhancing lives through design has remained unwavering.Yet, I know there's more I can do to help you on your journey to a designed life. The launch of A Design Lifestyle Journal marks a new chapter, and I am determined to take the design a step further to make a real difference in your home and beyond. I am ready to expand my design offerings into different realms that touch aspects of your daily life so that design can always be at the forefront.
