What is your idea of perfect happiness?

Seeing the family enjoy their new home for the first time.

What do you consider your greatest achievement?

My two daughters. Having them now both working with me everyday designing gives me a wonderful feeling of happiness sharing with them my passion and love for design.

What profession does your alter ego have?

Fashion Designer

The project you will never forget.

My clients from London, when the children saw their new rooms and just loved them and later finding them all jumping in the pool already feeling like this was their home.

Your favourite business tool or resource.

World travel especially with European architecture and design.

The most timeless design.

A mix of old antique or reclaimed elements with new or modern pieces.

The biggest design faux pas.

Holding onto furniture pieces that don’t complement the room, that are not the right fit, shape, or style.

Your design motto.

“It is Impossible to overdo luxury”
