Hi! I’m Noel. Fun fact about me: I was named after my grandfather Leon. It’s just his name backwards, which I’ve always loved.

I’m a creative at heart, and it’s a little hard to put a title on exactly what I do. Honestly, I kind of love that.

It’s funny, I never imagined I’d end up in the world of interior design the way I have. But looking back, the signs were always there — wallpapering my college dorm room, building a coffee table out of 2x4s with my mom and dad freshman year. I probably should have known then.

What began as a pivot away from a lifelong path in dance at the start of the pandemic quickly became something much bigger — accelerating my growth in ways I’m incredibly grateful for.

Over the past five years, I’ve worn many hats in the world of interior design, from project management and press to interior styling, brand partnerships, social media, and supporting product design. During that time, I’ve also had the opportunity to work closely as a mentee to Leanne Ford, an experience that fast-tracked my growth and shaped the way I think about storytelling through spaces. Alongside her, I’ve helped write two books and supported the launch and publication of FEEL FREE Magazine. I’ve also helped bring retail spaces to life for Buck Mason and managed social media across multiple creative launches and collaborations.

But at the heart of it all is the same thing: storytelling.

It’s what I loved as a little girl with a big imagination, constantly playing dress-up and creating worlds for my little brother and me to step into. It’s what carried me through my years in dance. And it’s what continues to guide my work today.

Since then, my work, both independently and with LFI, has been featured in Architectural Digest, House Beautiful, Domino, Apartment Therapy, FEEL FREE Magazine, and more.

The thing about interior design for me is that our homes are at the heart of our stories. They shape how we show up in the world. When a space feels true to who we are, we show up differently — more grounded, more open, and more ourselves. That ripple effect is a really beautiful thing.

I’m still figuring it all out, and honestly, I kind of love that too. I’m not exactly sure where it’s all heading, but I’m enjoying the ride. Whether it’s spaces, publishing, social media, or a dinner party in my own backyard, storytelling is the red thread that connects it all.
