What attracted you to the world of design and architecture?
Style, creativity, and design have been a part of my consciousness for as long as I can remember. I have always been focused on the big picture and the creative process behind it.
.
You use a lot of colour in your designs, would you say that is your signature style?
Having a “signature” style is not as important to me as creating spaces that are original and sophisticated, yet highly livable. Colour is the key to creating spaces that are inviting and harmonious; interiors that are beautiful enough to make you want to stay in them, not just look at them. Finding the right balance between comfort and style is a constant challenge and keeps me creatively motivated.
.
Do you have a favourite (residential) project and why?
My favourite residential project to date is a West Hollywood penthouse I designed for a young bachelor. He gave me the creative freedom to do pretty much whatever I wanted, and the architecture of the space dictated a design that was more contemporary than my usual aesthetic.
The size of the penthouse also provided me with many interesting design challenges; but overcoming the obstacles and really broadening my horizons creatively made it a purely satisfying journey to finally complete.
What inspires you today?
My clients are my inspiration – their style, colour preferences and lifestyle all determine the direction of a project. Also, sometimes something as simple as a great piece of artwork, photograph, or vintage pottery can serve as my inspiration for whatever project I’m working on at the moment.
.
What does the word luxury mean to you?
Luxury is a state of mind and can be achieved in many ways. The key is to surround yourself with things that give you pleasure and make you feel pampered in your own home, like high-quality bedding or fabulous wine glasses for your favourite wine. A home should be one’s own private refuge.
.
Can you recommend a hotel in LA where the interior design really impressed and inspired you?
I’m impressed by the re-design of the Hotel Bel Air. It celebrates modern California living by seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor spaces, and the interiors are comfortable and relaxed, yet chic. The furniture and colour choices reflect the glamour of the 1930’s and 40’s, and complement the hotel’s original Spanish Colonial architecture.
.
Have you designed interiors for any notable people?
Some of the celebrities I’ve designed for include Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian, Kris and Bruce Jenner, Ryan Seacrest and Michael C. Hall.
