I am the daughter of immigrant parents from Italy, and color, art, and design were a big part of my life growing up. Creativity was always around me and helped shape the way I see homes, spaces, and the details that make them feel special.

I have always enjoyed business and would consider myself a people person. Throughout my life and career, I learned that great service, creativity, and genuine relationships are the foundation of any successful business.

After a great 33-year career in skincare, I decided to retire. It didn't take long for me to realize that I still wanted to create, connect with people, and utilize the decorating and design skills I had developed through years of working with clients and renovating properties.

I knew I needed to reinvent myself a bit while continuing to do something meaningful, and Books & Decor became the perfect opportunity to combine my love of color, design, decorating, and helping others create beautiful spaces.

Today, I have the privilege of helping homeowners, designers, and book lovers bring warmth, character, and personality into their spaces through thoughtfully curated collections of real books.
