What is your design ethos? How do you add your signature California style and French roots to each project?
My design philosophy centers around blending form, function, and aesthetics. It’s crucial for a space not only to look beautiful but also serve its purpose effectively. It has to be more than just a pretty picture. The design should be intelligent in accommodating its function.
When it comes to remodels, one of the most rewarding aspects is rectifying poor design choices. I love solving the question, “How can we make it beautiful while reclaiming what has been lost?” Each project is completely unique with distinct goals, must-haves, and obstacles to address. Drawing from my California influences and French upbringing, I try to bring a fresh perspective to each project. I love to blend the clean and approachable Californian design ethos with the timeless charm of European aesthetics.
Give me a herringbone or chevron oak floor any day. Throw in some ornate wall molding and I’ll give you back a space that feel simultaneously contemporary, inviting, and timeless. I thrive on the dynamic interplay of old and new, resulting in something truly one-of-a-kind and captivating. That’s the beauty of design - it defies expectation and often finds harmony where it seems unlikely.
