in all my years of working in the design field I have come to understand each client as a unique universe, and each project as a lesson in communication.

i carefully observe and try to understand how objects are collected and gathered: how humans populate their homes with them.

are homes nests, comfort zones, or both? they are certainly temples, dedicated to items gathered through travels, or made-to-order pieces.

i am often asked if interior design is an “a priori” process. my answer is always i don’t know. It isn’t until i see the space through the client’s eyes that I can begin to formulate the design.

each project has its own vibrancy, and an individual color palette. that is something I must first capture in order to move forward.

each project is finished with an individual piece, a gift of sorts, created specifically for the space being conceived, and left behind to be enjoyed.

i am influenced by travelling and exploring—it inspires me and supplies my imagination with scenes that in turn enrich and expand my design vocabulary. some places are serene, others are loud and full of musical complexity. that also informs the spaces we create.

i view each design project as a group endeavor. everyone involved in the undertaking is a creative collaborator: client, designer and craftsman alike. we are therefore all part of one team.

i see my design process as both simple and complex: a series of fundamental moves, and direct communications that come together and allow me to create a home.
