NOT
just a
BUZZWORD
Sustainability is a fundamental principle shaping how we interact with each other, the world around us, and the ecosystems that support us.
Envision a future where art & design prioritize environmental and social responsibility, allowing people and the planet to thrive in harmony, inspiring change that leaves a legacy to future generations.
THE WORLD WE SHAPE THROUGH DESIGN
Intentional Layering of Art, Objects & Materials for Conscious Living
Design shapes how we live, feel, connect, and engage with the world. Crafted with intention, spaces feel alive, restorative, and quietly supportive of the mind, body and soul.
Weaving together materiality, culture, innovation, and regenerative design, guided by a reverence for artistry and place. Each space becomes more than a visual experience; it becomes an invitation into stillness, dialogue, and presence, a catalyst for meaningful connection, introspection and conscious living.
Luxury and sustainability are not mutually exclusive, they are intrinsically connected expressions of thoughtful design. Together, we can reimagine interiors through the lens of wellness and regeneration by integrating innovative, renewable, and non-toxic materials and elements that cultivate spaces that support health and wellbeing. Through collaboration, informed choices and purposeful action, we can shift from minimizing our footprint to enriching the worlds we shape, honoring the people who inhabit the spaces we create and the environments that sustain them.
SUSTAINABLE MATERIAL CURATION
From the surfaces you see to the materials you never think about.
Biobased, biomaterials, biosynthetic, bioassemble, biofabricate, biomass, PET, organic, natural, upcycle, downcycle, compostable, biodegradable...
Navigating the world of sustainable materials can feel overwhelming. I simplify the complexity by providing a thoroughly researched, strategically curated selection of materials sourced locally and globally, spanning across visible and invisible layers of your project. From the noticeable textiles and finishes that evince the designers’ vision, to the hidden components influencing indoor air quality, durability, and long-term performance. Every recommendation is aligned with the designers’ creative vision, the people who inhabit the space and the environment surrounding it.
Whether you are conceptualizing a new space or transitioning away from conventional materials, I curate a refined palette of textiles, furnishings, and finishes tailored to the project’s specifications, location, and aesthetic direction. Connecting designers with distinctive materials that honor their visual direction while reimagining a new era of opulence through meaningful, measurable, positive impact.
ART & OBJECT CURATION
Every piece tells a story. Let’s curate yours, consciously.
Details are what bring the design all together. Art, decor, lighting, and objects shape the emotional resonance of the space. They are the storytellers rooted in place, culture, and tradition. Every piece is part of the narrative, revealing meaning, shaped by the identity of the space and the stories unfolding within it. Creating room to compose authentic connections, experiences and memories.
Led by the designers’ aesthetic direction, spatial story, and values, I curate pieces that embody intentionality, authenticity, and material integrity. Through art acquisitions, bespoke commissions and thoughtful curation, I source from artists, designers, sustainable makers, and material innovators who push the boundaries through craftsmanship and conscious design to redefine luxury.
ADVISORY & CONSULTATION
Artful design meets responsible practice.
Designing responsibly begins long before materials are chosen or a concept takes shape. Through advisory and consultation, I help you establish the foundation for sustainable, regenerative design, providing clarity on where to begin, how to set meaningful goals, and how to embed circularity into your creative process. Whether you are building a healthy alternative materials library, removing plastics from your projects, refining your design methodology, or integrating new tools, frameworks, or micro-learning into your workflow, I offer strategic guidance tailored to your needs. Together, we translate intention into action, aligning artistry with informed decision-making to cultivate spaces and practices that are both beautiful and deeply responsible.
