FULL STOP. Let’s talk about the true responsibility of interior design…

We live in a chaotic world. Because of that, the future of interior design has to go beyond aesthetics and basic functionality. We need to design spaces that FEEL deeply supportive. If a space isn’t nurturing the mind, body, soul, it’s not fulfilling its purpose.

Our spaces are just as critical to our overall health and wellbeing as sleep, diet, and exercise. And yet we rarely treat them that way.

How does your current environment support your well-being? If you’re looking to evolve your space into a true sanctuary, connect with us via the link in our bio.

NEW WORK___ Every design decision shapes how we feel, think, and interact within a space. Here’s a look at our latest Upper East Side remodel and the intention behind a few of those choices for the kitchen:

CALM + GROUNDING
We chose natural materials that connect our client back to Nature and designed a custom kitchen that conceals appliances and everyday visual clutter. Both have been shown to help reduce stress, improve concentration, and create greater feelings of comfort and restoration.

TOGETHERNESS
We opened the kitchen to the dining and living areas so our clients can cook while keeping an eye on the kids as they do homework, play, or simply move through their day. They also love to entertain casually, and an open layout makes gathering feel effortless, allowing everyone to stay connected.

SURPRISE + DELIGHT
One of the foyer closets became a hidden little bar area. We brought in a curved archway to soften the architecture and added a touch of blue to create a visual connection to the adjacent dining and living spaces. It also gives guests the freedom to pour themselves a drink and settle in.

TRANSFORMATION
The original galley kitchen was filled with soffits and varying ceiling heights that made the space feel fragmented. Opening the kitchen required us to work around an existing gas line where a dividing wall once stood. Rather than seeing it as a constraint, we wrapped it in fluted travertine, transforming it into an architectural feature that helps frame the kitchen.

EXPANSIVE VIEW
We transformed a previously underutilized corner into a floating work-from-home desk with what I like to call an “expansive view of the world.” It’s the perfect spot for ideating, dreaming, and big-picture thinking. Sitting there, looking out the window, feels a bit like taking a deep breath. As if the space itself is quietly whispering, “Yes, you can.”

We believe that great interior design isn’t just about how a space looks. It’s about how it supports the life unfolding within it.

Let’s discuss the “beige epidemic”… I love your take on beige design and agree, designing with color is harder to do and therefore people play it safe. But I also think there is a case for beige design when done intentionally.

What’s everyone’s take on the beige epidemic in interior design?

NEW WORK____ a moody urban sanctuary on one side, indoor monkey bars on the other. Welcome to our latest Manhattan project ✨

This renovation project truly tested the concept of a holistic approach to design as we balanced designing rooms that were grounding and restorative with room’s that needed to support the energy levels of city kids in an apartment.

Our starting place was a super cozy, moody, blue family room with a massive sofa that seats the whole family and a textured, organic, airy modern living room that allows the East River views to be the real star of the room (never going to try and compete with Nature!)

But head a little further down the hall… and you’ll find a custom climbing wall in the girls’ room and monkey bars in the boys room ⚡️

I loved this project because it proves that luxury design is truly about being intentional about how you want to live and how you want your home to feel above all else.

Swipe through to see how these spaces flow- including a little kitchen cameo and the ultimate kid-approved rooms at the end 🙌🏼.

A huge thank you to my team and - none of this happens without you guys 😘, to for trusting us with her family’s home and being such a fun client to work with. You’re a badass and I don’t know how you manage to do it all 🤩. And to for so beautifully capturing the home in your piece for . And last but certainly not least- for capturing the home so beautifully. You always make us look good babe and I will be forever grateful for that 🙏🏼.

A TRUE PINCH-ME MOMENT… 8 years ago, I committed to a mission- to move interior design beyond spaces™️ and shift the focus from just “what looks good” to “what feels good.”

I started shouting holistic design from the rooftops and speaking about it to anyone who would listen because I felt the power of mindful, healthy, supportive environments deeply in my soul.

To watch a major news anchor introduce my segment on by saying:

“This morning, we’re talking about holistic interior design, a wellness-focused approach that considers how every aspect of our home impacts our mental, physical, and spiritual well-being”... felt like the ultimate form of being seen. It was a beautiful, surreal moment, where years of what has felt like swimming upstream, suddenly felt like FLOW ✨.

To have this movement in interior design so clearly understood and communicated on TV by the fabulous feels like a true milestone. Not just for me, but for the future of our industry.

I truly believe holistic, wellness-based design is the future.

Life is intense, and having an energetically balanced, healthy space that can truly support and hug you as I like to say, whether at home, at work or even on your daily commute, is the best medicine.

Thank you, Good Day NY! Check out a snippet of our latest holistic home tour + head to the link in bio for the full segment 🎬✨
