We look to make spaces “human” and work with concepts of proximity, ergonomics, sight lines, and the arrangement of a space’s features such as door heights, fireplace location, windows and other focal points. Working with the architect, we arrange the electrical, plumbing, HVAC and other mechanicals to eventually place lighting and outlets, etc.

“The Sunset Tower embodied these aspirations, counting among its former residents Howard Hughes, John Wayne, Billie Burke, Marilyn Monroe, Errol Flynn, Elizabeth Taylor, Frank Sinatra, Paulette Goddard, Zasu Pitts, and even gangster Bugsy Siegel.

His work was predominantly in Period Revival, but with this building he proved that he was equally adept with the then contemporary Deco style. To attract a demanding clientele, the Sunset Tower incorporated the latest in both technology and design. There were modern conveniences, like outlets in every bathroom for electric shavers, and the windows were made larger to take advantage of the spectacular views.”

Among other things, Your interior designer helps to stay within your budget. This starts at the very beginning, NOT when the room is all finished and ready for decorating! What to buy? How much to pay? Helping you to acquire things wisely is the job of your interior designer

Trust, Fun, Teaching, bringing each other along. The journey of the designer and Client relationship is the main reason I do what I do. I love to bring people along, and lead the way as we navigate what they really want, what is really important and what beauty means to them.
