A Pennsylvanian native with a background in retail marketing and media arts, Maria has been living and working in New York City for nearly a decade. After six years working at Paul Smith as their Visual Merchandiser/Window Designer, Maria started her own consulting business to focus full time on interior decorating and styling for clients such as Isabel et Toi, Fringe Salon, and Hærfest. When Maria isn't curating bookshelves or finding the perfect background prop, she spends her time learning French, reading last week's New York Times, rearranging her apartment, and taking trips to the library.
