About

Modern Home Modern Baby is a hub for Moms and Dads who care about design. Good design in the home, but also good design in the small things – products, toys, anything. Mostly, I appreciate how good design can help make things easier as well as more pleasant to look at. I do love to hunt around for great stuff and forward-thinking ideas and I bring the best to you here.

I’ve always been a curator of sorts. I come by it naturally as well as professionally. I have a MFA in Photography and Related Media from Parsons and have worked in numerous arts non-profits for over 15years. One of my favorite jobs was working in a museum helping the curator assemble and grow the permanent collection – we looked at so much art and sifted out the gems! Part of my responsibility was helping to develop the museum store and find inventory that gelled with our art collection and again I rooted through mounds of products to find the best.

All this researching and winnowing down started much earlier, though. When I was growing up my sister and I had a doll house. Well, actually, she had the dollhouse and I simply found her cool things to put in it. She’s 2 years older than me, so you can imagine her ability to take charge. I’d offer her these little treasures I’d find or make and she would arrange them. It worked out – we both got to do what we loved.

So now I’m a mom and staying at home raising our daughter and soon to arrive second one. I research lots of things – toys, room design, games, anything – to make our lives run more smoothly yet still have as much of an uncluttered existence as possible. Join me as I unearth cool stuff, parenting tips, interesting design ideas, and anything else that might pop into my sleep-deprived head.
