She is the founder and principal of Right Meets Left Interior Design, an award-winning Manhattan-based full-service design studio.  An avid colorist at heart, Courtney draws from a kaleidoscopic toolbox of texture, pattern, and color to create rooms evocative of one emotion above all others - joy. Her work has been featured in print both in the US and abroad - including the cover of Aspire Design + Home Magazine and Luxe Magazine. She has been named a 2019 Style Spotter by the High Point Market Authority and included on the 2019 list of emerging designers by Luxe Magazine.  Courtney is an S. Harris brand ambassador.
