A design tv-host and photographer

ABOUT ME
For the Love of Home
I’ve had a fascination with homes for as long as I can remember. As a young girl, I would ask my mom to take me to open houses on the weekend and sketch out floor plans on napkins. If I wasn’t so horrible at math I probably would have went to architecture school, but instead I got a degree in Broadcast Journalism with the dream of becoming a design tv host.
After graduation, I moved back home to the Eastern Shore of Maryland and quickly realized the lack of creative opportunities in my small town. I had two options — move to a city with more opportunities, or create my own. I chose the latter. And that’s how this all started…
“Bloom Where You Are Planted”
In 2015, I purchased a DSLR camera, taught myself how to photograph interiors and launched East + Lane as a creative outlet to share my passion for home, design, and small town lifestyle. Living by the motto “bloom where you are planted”, I was desperate to create a successful creative life in my small town and inspire others to do the same. In 2021, I was named Top 50 Interiors Photographer by Architectural Digest. And in 2022, my dream of becoming a design tv host came true when I landed a show on Magnolia Network, called Rental Redo.
Since launching, East & Lane has evolved into so much more than a personal blog, and now offers interior photography + styling, interior design, and digital content creation.
At its core, East + Lane is about cherishing the love of home and simple living. My hope is that you leave this site feeling inspired to curate your home with meaningful things and create a life you love — no matter where you live. Because I believe living your “best life” starts, at home.
