I am a licensed Interior Designer - (N4D Decorating + 3-yr ND Interior Design)
Starting my career in January 2002, building my position and experience in ergonomic spatial planning, anthropometric and furniture detailing for manufacturers, high end residential homes and hospitality.
From 2011, I was noted as a specialist in the field for the luxury hotel and hospitality market, demanding my attention to join numerous projects around the world.
Working on these exclusive portfolios made me experience and understand the importance of quality, design intent and listening to what it takes to manage expectations associated with luxury.
Over the years, I continue to be inspired by the journey, my clients and the teams I have the pleasure of working with, which has helped me discover my love for negotiation and making my clients happy!
Learning from the best design and business minds in the industry, moving into luxury detailing and sales negotiation came naturally, where over the past 19 years, I've established a love for discovering people's needs, wants and design comforts, which has become the art, I now focus on most!
BRIEF DESIGN HISTORY
Having had the privilege of working with many top Designers and prestigious brands such as, DENNISTON INTERNATIONAL, KETTAL, MINOTTI, ROCHE BOBOIS, FLEXFORM, B&B ITALIA, LASVIT, to name a few, allowing me the opportunity of visiting numerous sites and factories around the world, detailing and specifying FF&E for Luxury Operators AMAN, GHM, CHEVAL BLANCE, GRANDE HYATT.
This has been the solid foundation which taught me the importance of value that quality, accurate planning and negotiation has to offer successful design in luxury! Especially having worked with and been mentored by renowned and noted Designers such as Jean-Michel Gathy, David Schoonbroodt, Elle Brookes, Sacha Lakic, Fabrice Berrux, Nicolas Roche, to name a few.
