Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of projects do you specialize in?
Our niche is designing wellness spaces, including day spas, destination spas, wellness centers, and treatment rooms. We also love bringing the same sense of relaxation and restoration to residential projects and other commercial environments. All of our work is guided by research-backed approaches such as biophilic design, neuroaesthetics, and the use of healthy, sustainable materials.
Do you specialize in any particular style of interior design?
I love contemporary design that blends old-world charm with each client’s unique personal expression. My focus is on creating spaces that feel harmonious, beautiful, and sometimes a little unexpected. Rather than adhering to a single style, my philosophy is less is more and quality over quantity - designs that endure rather than follow trends. I always welcome client inspiration images, which help me tailor each project to reflect their individual taste and vision.
