Small Steps, Big Impact: A Labor Day Weekend Reflection
As Labor Day Weekend rolls around, I’ve been thinking about how small actions can add up to make a big difference for our planet. This weekend, I decided to make a donation to support efforts to clean up our oceans. It got me reflecting on the little things we can all do to keep our environment clean and healthy.
As Labor Day Weekend rolls around, I’ve been thinking about how small actions can add up to make a big difference for our planet. This weekend, I decided to make a donation to support efforts to clean up our oceans. It got me reflecting on the little things we can all do to keep our environment clean and healthy.
Whenever I walk along the beach, I try to pick up a few pieces of trash. It’s not something I do every day, but when I do, it feels like a small step in the right direction. It reminds me that we all have a part to play in looking after our world, even in small ways.
It doesn’t have to be about joining a cleanup group or making a big gesture — just being mindful in our everyday lives can make a difference. Maybe it’s adjusting our buying habits, choosing reusable items over single-use plastics, or just picking up a piece of litter when we see it. These small, conscious choices can add up over time.
This weekend, as we enjoy a break from our usual routines, it’s a good reminder to think about how our small actions can lead to a positive impact. Let’s all do our bit to leave things a little better than we found them. Every little step counts.
Reviving Memories: A Cabinetry Revamp in Manhattan Beach
In the heart of Manhattan Beach stands a home that holds a tale of design, dreams, and unexpected turns. Twenty years ago, I had the privilege of designing this residence, pouring my passion and creativity into every aspect of its creation.
In the heart of Manhattan Beach stands a home that holds a tale of design, dreams, and unexpected turns. Twenty years ago, I had the privilege of designing this residence, pouring my passion and creativity into every aspect of its creation.
From the elegant lines of the architecture to the intricate details of the interiors, it was a canvas where my vision came to life—a sanctuary where memories were crafted and aspirations flourished.
However, fate had its own plans. The home caught the eye of tennis legend Maria Sharapova, who found in it a place to call her own. And so, the home remained unpublished, its story known only to those who walked its halls.
Now, two decades later, I find myself returning to this cherished space for a humble yet significant endeavor: a light refresh, revamping the cabinetry, small tweaks... While the home may have changed hands, its spirit remains unchanged—a testament to the enduring power of design to transcend time and circumstance.
Every drawer pull, every cabinet door carries with it a whisper of the past—a reminder of the dreams that once took flight within these walls, the echoes of laughter and joy that filled the air.
As I embark on this journey to breathe new life into the cabinetry of this storied home, I'm reminded of the profound impact of design to shape our lives and leave a lasting legacy.
Stay tuned for updates as we embark on this nostalgic journey, honoring the past while embracing the future.

I'm thrilled to announce a significant milestone: 1000 trees planted in partnership with @OneTreePlanted! Each tree represents a step towards a greener, more sustainable future.
Notably, for every project, I plant 5 times the amount of trees needed for construction. This ensures a net positive impact on the environment and underscores my commitment to sustainability.
My love and appreciation for nature have been a guiding force since childhood, fueling my passion for preserving our planet's beauty and biodiversity. From my earliest memories to planting 22 trees with @OneTreePlanted on April 19, 2021, this journey has been driven by a deep-seated commitment to environmental stewardship.
Together, we're making a difference for our planet and future generations! Thank you for your support in this journey. Learn more about @OneTreePlanted and their incredible work here.

I’m excited to introduce this new section of my website, where I’ll be sharing updates on my RESTORE efforts and environmental initiatives.
Today, I’m celebrating a major milestone: completing a tree planting project in Utah. I planted 168 trees — five times the amount needed to construct a modern 1,677-square-foot home for a repeat client. This initiative offsets the lumber used in construction and sets a positive example for sustainable building practices.
Stay tuned for more updates as I continue to work towards a greener future.
