A home should feel composed, not decorated.

Boutique interior design for coastal-luxury homes across the South-Bay, Malibu, Pacific Palisades, and Santa Monica - where European restraint meets California light.

I design interiors that feel calm, considered, and effortless to live in — where every material, proportion, and sightline is weighed as carefully as a brand. That instinct isn’t a coincidence: I spent 25 years building brands for some of the world’s most recognized companies before bringing the same eye for story and detail to the spaces people live in. The result is a rare combination at this level - a designer’s taste, run with a brand-builder’s discipline.

A considered process, from sketch to styling

I work with a small number of clients at a time, personally. You plan the whole home with me from the start — so layout, materials, color, furniture, lighting, and the flow to the outdoors all work as one, rather than being decided piece by piece. One point of contact. One coherent vision.

Discover — We start with how you actually want to live, and what the home wants to become.

Design — Every space planned as a whole: proportion, materials, and flow.

Source — Furnishings, finishes, and custom pieces selected and managed end to end.

Deliver — A calm, well-run build, styled down to the final detail.
