Welcome to the Chalet!

Meryl is a storyteller and it doesn’t matter if the medium is the written word, finding the perfect design for a client or advising businesses how to maximize their reach.

YES Meryl and her family really do live in a Chalet cottage hand-built in 1924 as a vacation get-away an hour outside of Manhattan in New Jersey. The first structure on the street - that was once the grand drive to an estate.

A self-confessed book junkie - Meryl’s article Get Your Read On! originally published in 2019 is constantly updated with new favorite titles. She reads and also listens to titles through: Hoopla, Libby and Chirp. Meryl moderates her church Book Club - spearheading since its inception in 2019.
