I am Oriah, a mother of five grown children and a lifelong creator of worlds. Becoming a young mom taught me the art of imagination as survival and joy—I decorated and designed spaces for my children so they could live inside stories rather than screens. We never had a television in my childhood home; instead, I learned to create immersive worlds out of whatever I had, even as simple as hanging fabric over a chair to spark wonder.
Now at 52, those roots have blossomed into a career as an expert in living environments that feel not only magical but loved, worn-in, and timeless—as though they’ve existed forever. I have built every conceivable world, from 1800s period settings to fantasy realms, wizard chambers, and beyond. Along the way, I’ve painted murals in both residential and commercial spaces, often with my children beside me, helping me bring visions to life.
For over 30 years I’ve designed for private clients, creating spaces where artistry, memory, and imagination merge. My work is not about copying décor trends—it’s about weaving soul into walls, fabrics, and light, so every room feels alive with story so you feel....more alive.
