Who we are

I believe the best pieces find us when we’re ready — not when we’re rushed.

Years in retail, sales, sourcing taught me that trust lasts longer than tactics. I don’t hover. I don’t push. I curate and let people decide.

If you’re here, you’re probably already reconsidering how you consume. I’m glad you found your way.

Urbn Outsider was born from a belief that homes should feel lived-in, personal, and rooted in story — not shaped by trends or algorithms.

I grew up thrifting, sourcing second-hand, and learning to see beauty where others overlooked it. That perspective eventually became my philosophy.

Today, I curate and re-home vintage pieces that deserve a second life and help clients create spaces that feel grounded, comforting, and uniquely theirs. My approach blends styling, sustainability, and true curation — honoring craftsmanship and individuality over fast décor and overconsumption.

Slow styling, to me, is a way of choosing longevity over churn — selecting pieces meant to be kept, loved, and lived with for decades to come.

If you want a space that feels like you — layered, intentional, and full of character — I’d love to help.
