My career began with high-end residential design, & it has taken me on a journey beyond my wildest imaginings. I love to take what can be a very overwhelming process, and make it FUN & collaborative, helping clients to clarify their vision for their space & bring it to life with ease & play!
Just a few examples of my design work…

“I worked closely with Chelsea from start to finish on a 28,500 square foot Palm Beach island estate, & we quickly established a great rapport. She was easy to collaborate with, respectful of budgets, & I trust her eye for design. She’s a pleasure to work with.”
