Wellness Design
About Me
A US native, I have lived abroad and travelled extensively for the past 20 years. I consider myself a global citizen having learned from other cultures and perspectives on how to live well, and cultivated a unique approach to design I feel everyone can benefit from.
My Philosophy
I believe great design is not just about how a space looks, but how it supports the way you live. Our homes should reflect who we are today while creating the conditions for who we want to become—supporting us physically, mentally, and emotionally through the rhythms of everyday life.
Every design decision is an opportunity to improve how a space feels and functions. From layout and flow to light, texture, and materiality, I focus on creating environments that bring ease, clarity, and comfort to daily routines—whether that’s starting the day with energy, finding moments of calm, or making space for connection with others.
My approach is grounded in the belief that a well-designed home should work quietly in the background, enhancing your lifestyle without adding complexity. This means designing with intention—prioritizing quality, longevity, and thoughtful details that elevate both form and function.
Where possible, I incorporate natural materials, layered textures, and considered technology to create spaces that feel balanced, intuitive, and restorative. The goal is not to follow trends, but to craft environments that feel timeless, personal, and deeply supportive of how you want to live.
Ultimately, I design homes that do more than look beautiful—they create a sense of alignment between your space, your lifestyle, and your wellbeing.

We carry out a comprehensive evaluation of your home’s design, thoughtfully and collaboratively assessing how it aligns with your lifestyle and wellness aspirations. We uncover areas where your environment may fall short of its potential, focusing on transformative opportunities to elevate your living experience. Our approach goes beyond conventional design—identifying untapped sensory and spatial dynamics that, when optimized, create a holistic, wellness-enhancing home.
