Principal Designer · Residential Interiors · Design Leadership
I design high-end residential interiors that feel deeply personal, visually assured, and easy to live in. My work blends concept development, technical rigor, sourcing, and installation leadership to carry a strong point of view from first presentation to final reveal.

Selected Work
A focused set of residential transformations that show how design leadership can sharpen the concept, guide the details, and improve how a home actually works day to day.
A Westchester condo transformed from builder basic into a polished, culture-forward home designed for entertaining.
A Park Slope loft renovation with bold focal points and a sharper point of view for a young couple.
A Bay Ridge pre-war condo opened into a relaxed bachelor pad built for views, comfort, and game-day hosting.
Design Perspective
My process begins with how a client wants to feel at home, then translates that into spatial flow, material decisions, furnishings, and finishing details that can hold up in real life. The result is work that feels elevated without losing comfort or utility.
Leadership Track
My background spans client presentations, sourcing, procurement, custom detailing, documentation, and on-site coordination. I bring a steady design point of view to every phase of the work while keeping vendors, budgets, and installation realities moving in the same direction.
