LET'S WORK TOGETHER

Procurement

Sourcing &

Home furnishings is my thing. In my corporate buyer days, I sourced & procured from over 75 vendors in the upholstery, casegoods and decor categories. Since 2011, I've worked for major retailers, managed several trade partnerships and shopped numerous industry markets including High Point, Las Vegas, AmericasMart Atlanta and The Inspired Home Show of Chicago. My expertise spans the well known household brand names, online marketplaces and independent makers and sellers. I have quite a unique advantage when it comes to home interiors, sourcing & procurement and I'm ready to share it with you.

We offer an end-to-end procurement partnership designed to safeguard your margins, maintain project momentum, and ensure a seamless path from specification to installation.
