ABOUT THE STUDIO
The studio is built to provide clarity where design and construction projects often become fragmented. Successful projects require coordination across many moving parts: design, procurement, trades, timelines, and execution. Each role is clearly defined so the process remains organized, accountable, and aligned. Design leadership remains in-house. I lead the creative vision from concept through completion, ensuring that design intent is established early and carried through every phase. Project management and construction are intentionally outsourced to qualified general contractors, project managers, and specialized trades. Selected for each project based on scope, expertise, and fit.
While those teams manage execution, I work alongside them throughout the process. My role is to guide decisions, review details, and ensure that what is built reflects what was designed. This allows each professional to operate within their area of expertise while maintaining continuity and cohesion across the project.
Procurement is handled directly through the studio. Once design elements are approved, I coordinate the ordering of furnishings, lighting, finishes, and custom millwork. In addition, the studio operates as a retailer through Designers Retail.
This provides clients with access to a curated selection of high-end furniture, lighting, wall coverings, and architectural finishes. Each is sourced with the same level of intention as the design itself. For clients, this means fewer intermediaries, clearer communication, and a more cohesive outcome. Design decisions move efficiently from concept to procurement to installation, with consistency maintained throughout. The studio’s role is not to replace contractors or project managers, but to collaborate closely with them. Protecting the design vision while supporting a process that is structured, efficient, and thoughtfully led from start to finish.
