You initially began your career in architecture. How has that background informed your design philosophy?

My knowledge of architecture influences my approach to the design of every home I touch. The quality of any space is the sum of the whole and great interiors do not rely on furnishings or drapery alone; but rather, on how well the architecture of the space and the interior design elements speak to one another.

When it comes to choosing bedding, what are some must-haves that you look for, whether it’s quality or design?

Whether it’s for my clients or my personal home, quality always comes first. If linens don’t boast comfort and durability, it doesn’t matter what they look or feel like because they won’t last. As for style, neutral is my go-to bedding vibe, and I adore heirloom-quality, white linens for their crisp, timeless look. We spend a third of our lives in sleep mode, so consider luxury bedding a worthwhile investment!

What are some of your favorite interior design trends at the moment? And when it comes to classics, what can you not live without?

I’m drawn to simplicity and subtle, texture-rich palettes, so I’ve really enjoyed the latest return to minimalism. It’s all about clean lines and the perfect edit – stop adding things to accomplish your dream look, and start taking things away.

The best part about simplifying the design story is that your most unique treasures have the opportunity to shine! As for classics I can’t live without, it’s got to be lighting. Although styles and finishes may change, a strong lighting plan filled with the highest quality fixtures is my favorite way to usher life into a home.
