Meet Carly

I created Mochi Home with the simple mission to help people visualize their spaces.  When you are obsessed with your home (like I am) you can spend hours upon hours and hundreds (thousands?!) of dollars fixing it up. I hope Mochi Home can give you both practical and inspirational ideas, while reducing some of the headaches and surprises that come with re-decorating.

As I like to say…a little visualization before realization.

When I’m not designing spaces at Mochi Home, I’m a freelance graphic designer. I had the idea for creating home decor renderings after making a series of “photosimulations” for urban planning projects at my day job. I’ve always loved painting and decorating, from arranging furniture in my Barbie house (circa 1984) to renovating the condo I share with my husband.

Why “Mochi?”

Mochi is a Japanese rice cake with a soft and gooey texture. You can learn all about it here. Mochi is our favorite delicately sweet dessert, especially when filled with red bean paste or prepared as green tea ice cream.  Mochi is fun to say, hard to forget and last (but not least!), Mochi is our friends’ adorable beach-loving dog.

Mochi, the ice cream + Mochi, the dog.
