You’re a Tennessee girl yourself. How does HART Nashville reflect the local spirit?
The store is a beautiful blend of inspiring elements, filled with unique pieces. Tennessee's landscape is breathtaking, and the people are warm and vibrant, especially in Nashville, where the city's dynamic energy mirrors the store’s diverse and captivating mix.
Where’s your favorite spot to treasure hunt in Nashville and/or Charleston?
In Nashville, I love the vintage shop right across from HART on 12 South - Savant Vintage. The owner is always there, and both her stories and the pieces she curates are incredible. In Charleston, I love shopping at the Mt. Pleasant Mall.
Where do you turn for design inspiration?
Everywhere—music, travel, the people I’m designing for, and the objects in the space. Any texture or detail can spark an idea. Inspiration is truly all around.
You’re a mom of two young girls, married to the bassist of American jam band Umphrey’s Mcgee, with your own interior design company plus appearances on tv shows…do you have a spiritual/mindfulness practice that helps keep you centered? How do you stay in flow?
Mushrooms…just kidding! I love yoga, sweating it out in the sauna, and carving out at least 30 minutes a day for myself. I need that time to clear my head.
What's the "why" behind the charms you chose for your necklace?
Each charm on this necklace feels like a little mantra for me. The Shroomy reminds me to embrace my playful side; Rock On speaks to my creative spirit and inner wild child; and the Hamsa Helping Hand feels like carrying a symbol of strength and good energy wherever I go. Together they make my necklace feel like a personal talisman that's both grounding and empowering.
