Chicago apartment, Portuguese magazine 🇺🇸🇵🇹

Always special seeing a project travel beyond the walls it was created for.

This home was designed for a young couple wanting a space full of personality, warmth, and collected layers, art, texture, and meaningful objects accumulated throughout life and travel.

Thank you, Revista Urbana

One of my favorite gallery stops in London will always be Saatchi.

The exhibitions are consistently interesting, but I also love the excuse to wander through Belgravia and stop by beautiful home-goods shops on my way toward Chelsea.

Happy to share a few favorite spots!

Date nights look a little different these days 😂

Somewhere between the fear of missing the 5pm nap window and the fear of missing out on the London dining scene, we managed to sneak out for dinner at one of my favorite spots.

Carlotta not only has THE best beef carpaccio and a Fettuccine Alfredo al Tartufo to die for, but its maximalist interiors and wonderfully over-the-top aesthetic pay tribute to the Italian families who packed up their bags, recipes, and heritage and brought them across the pond to America.

The vibe is cozy, the food is delicious, the drinks are YUM, and the music is always on point. All tucked into the heart of beautiful Marylebone.

London has quietly followed us for years.

It appeared during O1 visa uncertainty, wedding chaos, contingency plans, and “what if” conversations, long before we ever called it part of our life.

We never officially moved here. But somehow, summer after summer, London keeps finding its way back to us.

Maybe some places belong to you before you even realize it.

Sitting on something you designed always feels a little surreal.

This custom bench was created for a client with both function and proportion in mind, and like most pieces, it only truly comes to life once it’s lived in.

Design doesn’t end at installation... It begins there.

A Texan corner, with a sense of humor.

One of the things I’ve always loved about interiors is how a small vignette can tell a larger story. Here, vintage pieces, local references, and a bit of boldness come together in a playful nod to Texas.

Design shouldn't take itself too seriously.

RC Condo was about feeling. Looking inward. Editing.

Knowing what not to add. Letting texture and proportion carry the weight instead of excess.

There’s a quiet confidence in restraint and this is where I find the most enduring spaces live.

Brazilian contemporary design has always influenced how I think about proportion and boldness.

Mula Preta embraces contrast and play without losing sophistication.. something I find translates beautifully when layered thoughtfully into Texas homes.

Design dialogue between cultures is where the most interesting spaces emerge ☺️

A beautiful night at the Austin Home & Design Awards.

Always inspiring to be in a room full of talented designers, builders, and creatives shaping the way we live.

Grateful to have been nominated this year, and even more excited for what’s ahead!! 🤍

This project was never about filling a room.
It was about listening to it.

Exposed beams, warm wood, generous proportions. Everything here asked for restraint, balance, and pieces with soul. We leaned into Brazilian modernist references, honest materials, and furniture that feels collected rather than styled.

A space designed to breathe.
To host.
To sit quietly with a book..or a good conversation.

Timeless, warm, and deeply personal.
