Strong
+ Simple

Bold, creative, unique and beautiful. A modern approach to residential and commercial interiors, visual merchandising and floral design. Naturally attuned to the space, needs or occasion.

Rooted in strong + simple design principles — equal parts beauty and practicality.

The look is warm, refreshing, sophisticated and luxurious.

Residential Interiors

Home interiors with candor and clarity created using a listen, dream, assemble approach. An eye honed in the studios of Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein and Vera Wang.

Often surprisingly simple pieces, ingeniously combined, for a new effect. Distinct ideas and personalities room to room. Sophisticated use of color. Flowing and connecting for a dramatic effect.

The result is pure modern luxury: warm, surprising, inviting, calm.

How I Work

  • 1

    Listen

    to the client.

    things around.

  • 3

    Refine

    what you have before adding anything.

Visual Merchandising

Brand focused visual merchandising; creatively and ingeniously using space and visual elements to build image. Closely attuned to business goals and needs.

Global experience at Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, Vera Wang and a complementing portfolio of commercial and residential interiors. A three-part approach: develop a look, combine elements, build-out with an unerring eye for detail and a realistic sense of perfectionism.

Faculty member at the Parsons School of Design in Visual Merchandising and Fashion Industry Marketing.

  • 3

    Assemble

    the product so it's primary.

Floral Design

A fashion approach to flowers. Distinct, lush and precise. A confident and inventive hand with a fresh sense of style and technique.

Each element made striking in its purest form; floral designs are natural yet dramatic in effect. Installations and individual arrangements are created with a sculptural, architectural approach that can be bold and graphic or softer and more romantic.

Flowers transformed; made exciting and new.
