Welcome to MODERnestS where we hatch new ideas for a warm, affordable, modern home every day.  I studied Sociology and Art at UCLA and have been designing and making furniture, clothing, jewelry since 1990.  I love to focus on installation art and experiencing space, context and object and the relationship between objects, spaces and people.

I hope you enjoy MODERnestS and make it your own by engaging in discussions in the comment sections, sending in your own design challenges to readers and MODERnestS and check in often for the daily posts on interior design, design trends, great DIY ideas, lighting, seating, organizing and more.
