Designer Profile

I look to esthetically keep up with technology and the speed of life while giving you the serenity and clarity to live and do what matters to you!

My inspiration is in the solutions that allow you to enjoy your homes and work places in this constantly changing world.

Having spent a few years living in Seattle, Washington recently I was enriched by the highly sophisticated green movement there providing me another layer of inspiration: sustainable design with sensibility to the environment and our grandchildren's world. This enhances my continuing interest in Universal design and Aging in Place.

Born in Paris, educated as an architect and having worked for architects, an Interior Designer, a construction company and an office dealership, I bring a worldly and well rounded background to my design firm.

I pride myself on a holistic approach to a project with and achieving a practical approach to its management.
