Longtime renter and parent in quirky prewar spaces, I specialize in installs that hold without harming deposits. I tailor tension, adapters, and pads to real wall conditions.

I led infant-room routines and hosted babyproofing workshops; now I help families align gates with real-life caregiving, from grandparent visits to pet traffic.

Former furniture showroom merchandiser turned parent, I translate finishes, sightlines, and latch feel into picks that disappear visually and work gracefully.

I run structured tests on gates—latch forces, panel deflection, stride clearance—and translate standards into decisions you can trust. When hardware mount is non-negotiable, I say so and show why.

Seasoned handyman and measurement nerd, I obsess over hinge clearance, newel geometry, and wall strength so your gate mounts right and stays quiet.
