"Hospitality has always been at the forefront of my design process. I have always loved designing environments that are welcoming, transformative, and hold people well. My goal is always for the space to have the best feeling and to hit the right notes both functionally and aesthetically. After having planned countless events, I know how to take care of people; I know what makes them feel comfortable, what creates an incredible vibe and how to create an environment that promotes positive memory-making."

As for hosting, Robin loves to keep it simple with a solid plan. "I always suggest setting up areas for guests to help themselves. Ultimately, guests have come over to spend time with you, so be sure you are able to be present to actually enjoy their company."

Easy hosting tips:

1. Lighting is key. Instead of using harsh overhead lighting, use candles and table lamps to create a more inviting space.
