Complete renovation of a Parisian piedà-terre for an American couple, intended for rental. A pared-back interior where Haussmannian elements are preserved and simplified. Light and volume structure a neutral base, punctuated by touches of color, textiles, and objects.

The space is conceived as a clear and structured working environment, with controlled lines and fluid circulation. Wood is used as a unifying element, bringing warmth and continuity throughout. Targeted nterventions — custom elements, integrated lighting, and more expressive pieces — punctuate the space without disrupting its balance.
create interiors that feel layered, engaging, and reflective of my clients’
lives. Based in Paris for over 25 years, I guide English-speaking clients
through the French market—from materials and finishes to sourcing
furnishings and lighting, both contemporary and vintage—while Frenchspeaking clients are equally welcome.
My background is in theatre direction and scenography, where I developed
a sensitivity to space, composition, and atmosphere. I later returned to
study interior design, then worked with Paris-based architects before
establishing my own practice.
Raised by inveterate antique hunters, I grew up surrounded by a mix of old
and new—noble materials, vintage lighting, and storied objects. That
influence continues to shape my work, where history and intention come
together in a composed, livable way.
My process is rooted in what resonates: colors, textures, objects, and atmospheres that feel essential. Each project evolves to support how a space is used, creating rooms that are inviting, tailored, and attuned to their owners. I oversee everything from concept through procurement and installation, collaborating with local artisans, architects, and builders to ensure each element is thoughtfully chosen and constructed.
I welcome full-service design projects in Paris and across Europe, crafting interiors rich in detail, thoughtfully composed, and curated with characterful pieces that reflect each client’s vision.
