A cover story and my new design column in the spotlight.
In case you missed it, The Tampa Bay Times luxury-focused publication, The Bay magazine, featured my home on the cover of their November issue. The story showcased a dinner party held to kick off Tampa Jesuit High School’s 2025 Gaudiosa fundraiser.

The Gaudiosa gala raises over $1 million annually to support scholarships and community programs at Tampa’s Jesuit High School, a Catholic boys’ school. Each year, Gaudiosa features a geographic theme, and this year’s event will be an unforgettable night with a French-inspired ambiance, exceptional auction items, and a spirit of giving—titled An Evening in Paris!
The newspaper’s editor wanted to feature how Bay area hosts could bring in a top chef to create the perfect Parisian dinner party at home. When she learned of my husband Eric’s and my support of the school and this year’s theme, the party and feature came together seamlessly. Read the full story here.
Thank you, editorial team, Kathy Saunders and The Tampa Bay Times for an amazing story.
On another note, as a Tampa interior designer and tastemaker, I was invited by the paper to be a regular contributor to the bay magazine in a column called “Found it”.
In every issue, the Found it feature will showcase my picks and favorites in luxury home décor, fashion, and food. Check out my first article here on page 19.
Any questions about the featured products, ideas on future featured products, or the how you can get involved with Jesuit and their big event, reach out.
Until next time, make life delicious!
