About me
A Journey Through Design: Graphic Roots to Interior Realms
Originally from Northern California, I relocated to France in 2006, bringing with me a lifelong passion for design in all its forms. My formal education began at the California College of the Arts, where I studied graphic design and earned recognition for my award-winning work featured in various publications. As the design landscape evolved, I pursued further studies in digital media and web development at Université Côte d’Azur, which led me to work full-time as a developer. Throughout this journey, my interest in interior spaces grew from a personal hobby into a professional calling.
A Tale of Two Cities: from Paris to Nice
My approach to interior architecture is deeply influenced by my experiences in both Paris and the French Riviera. In Paris, I was captivated by the elegance of Haussmannian apartments and the rich history embedded in their architecture. Moving to the south of France introduced me to the unique materials and designs of Mediterranean homes, where light and color play pivotal roles in creating inviting spaces. These diverse environments have shaped my appreciation for blending traditional elements with contemporary needs.
Crafting Timeless Spaces on the Côte d’Azur
Currently based in the French Riviera, I have completed several renovation projects that reflect my dedication to thoughtful, timeless design. Drawing inspiration from the region’s natural beauty and architectural heritage, I aim to create interiors that harmonize with their surroundings. As I continue to expand my practice, I look forward to collaborating with clients who value spaces that are not only beautiful but also deeply personal and enduring.
My design philosophy
Functionality Meets Personal Expression
Successful interior design begins with understanding how clients live and interact with their spaces. Rather than chasing trends, I focus on daily routines and personal preferences to create environments that are both beautiful and supportive of their unique lifestyles. By reimagining spatial flow and thoughtfully arranging elements like walls, doorways, and furniture, I design interiors that are functional, efficient, and reflective of each client’s individual style.
Timeless Interiors: Beyond Trends
I believe that interior design should stand the test of time. This means crafting spaces that clients will continue to love and appreciate for years to come. By focusing on enduring design principles and thoughtful details, I aim to create interiors that exude lasting appeal. No matter the aesthetic—be it minimalist, rustic, traditional, or luxurious—my designs prioritize how clients live in their spaces. By understanding daily habits and preferences, I craft interiors that are both inviting and reflective of individual lifestyles.
Authentic Materials
Authenticity is at the core of my design approach. I prioritize preserving and enhancing the original architectural elements of a space—such as exposed beams, stone walls, and aged woodwork—to honor the building’s history and character. By thoughtfully integrating these features into the design, I create interiors that celebrate the building’s heritage while accommodating contemporary living. This approach ensures that each space feels both timeless and deeply personal, reflecting the unique story embedded within its walls.
