“I always start with storytelling, and I think the mix is magic, there’s magic in the mix... If I’m using a dramatic historic piece that’s got a lot of gravitas, I feel like the fabrics have to be bold. I feel like that guides you.”

“I think Americans really had bold bright color...Some of these federal rooms have crazy color, they’re very imaginative, very playful. I think the American spirit is about taking risks, really going for it, and having those bold accents.”
