About the host
Your host
I have lived in Chadds Ford for most of my adult life, and I love this area! Working as an interior designer for the past 28 years and in hospitality before that, I have gained a sense of what it takes to make a home feel comfortable, well appointed and fun for guests. I am an animal and nature lover, and evidence of this can be seen throughout the homes I design.
