Project Highlight: Minneapolis - Home in the Sky

This project marks one of the most prestigious milestones in my design journey. Trusted by the clients to bring vision and precision into their massive penthouse, I flew out to Minneapolis to measure, photograph, and experience the residence firsthand - ensuring that every design decision was grounded in the architecture and atmosphere of their home.

Though these are not the finalized designs, they represent the spirit of the project: bold silhouettes, iconic Roche Bobois pieces, and a thoughtful mix of contemporary sophistication with personal comfort. From layered seating arrangements to sculptural dining forms and playful color accents, the space reflects both elegance and individuality.

It was an honor to complete this penthouse and, in many ways, to close my chapter with Roche Bobois through such a meaningful project. A home in the sky, designed to inspire.

Which area sticks out to you the most?

Project Highlight: Park Ave.

This project highlights the Palatine dining table by Christophe Delcourt and the Celeste 2 chairs by Cedric Ragot, both by Roche Bobois. Their rounded silhouettes bring a sense of balance and movement to the room, while their sculptural quality makes them stand out as both functional and artistic.

By pairing these iconic designs together, we created a dining space that feels bold yet inviting—perfect for Park Avenue living.

Project Highlight: West Village - Townhome

Tucked near the vibrant heart of the West Village, steps away from , Monster, Julius, and other icons of q***r history, this compact one-bedroom challenged me to think differently about flow and function. The narrow footprint meant every choice had to balance beauty with walkability, and circular, compact silhouettes became the perfect solution.

In the audio room, the Mah Jong by Hans Hopfer takes center stage. With its double corners, it allows the clients to sit facing one another - whether to relax, read, or lose themselves in their vinyl collection. It’s more than seating; it’s a space for connection.

The dining area glows with cool tones anchored by the sculptural Aqua Table by Fabrice Berrux and paired with the playful yet refined Celeste Chairs by Cédric Ragot. Together, these pieces bring balance to a space that thrives on conversation and movement.

This project was a joy and proof that even in New York’s most compact apartments, great design can make every corner sing.

Project Highlight: Soho - Condominium

I love this space so much. This family gave me carte blanche to decorate their home. We brought in heavy East Asian influences to the space by creating the Alchimie 2 by and without arms. We used the Mah Jong as an armchair and as a coffee table. These were competent day an Apex Ottoman by and an area rug by .

The Aqua table, a favorite of mine and designed by flows like a droplet frozen mid-fall, solid marble that somehow feels liquid. Beside it, the Steeple chair curves into a soft embrace, a seat that feels like it’s leaning in to listen.

The Mah Jong sprawls like a quilted landscape of freedom — modules to stack, scatter, or sink into, each cushion inviting you to choreograph your own comfort. And when the night winds down, the Profile Bed stands tall and tufted, part architecture, part sanctuary — a place to rest, read, or simply dream.

These silhouettes are more than design — they’re invitations. Which one would you live with first?

Project Highlight: Upper East Side - Condominium II

This Upper East Side home called for flexibility and personality. The family wanted a modular seating solution that could adapt for both lounging and game nights — and the Conversation sofa by @ delivered perfectly.

A bespoke bar cabinet and the addition of a Mah Jong corner settee (designed by Hans Hopfer/ produced by with fabric from ) complete the design, blending iconic Roche Bobois pieces with custom details.

Warm tones, layered textures, and a playful mix of forms make this space a true reflection of urban comfort — modern, functional, and full of character.

Project Highlight: Murray Hill - Condominium

This Murray Hill condominium was an honor to design, nestled inside a newly built Art Deco–inspired building. This has to be my favorite project.

The home is anchored by iconic pieces:

The Bubble sofa by with its sculptural, cloud-like form.

The Eden-Rock collection by Sacha Lakic, offering refined modern luxury.

The Mah Jong sofa by Hans Hopfer, used here in a modular layout that doubles as both a home office lounge and a guest bed. This was dressed in fabric and complemented by a Missoni rug in the Mah Jong style.

The Profile Bed by & , a deeply tufted yet modern statement, designed for comfort and perfect for reading in bed.

The result is a home that balances playfulness with practicality - performance fabrics, flexible layouts, and bold design icons that speak to timeless style.

Do you like the mix of classic French woodcraft with the more contemporary seating?

Project Highlight: Upper East Side - Condominium I

This condominium project in Manhattan's Upper East Side was one of my favorites to design. The open layout called for pieces that could anchor the space while remaining family-friendly. The deep green Caracteré sofa (designed by ) became the centerpiece, upholstered in performance fabrics — perfect for a home with three kids. Complemented by the Alto tables by Joëlle Rigal, Apex ottomans also by Sacha Lakic, and the Cadence Armchair by .

High-quality textures, curated modern silhouettes, and layered tones bring warmth to an expansive city view. Every detail, from sculptural lighting to versatile seating, reflects a balance of comfort, function, and modern elegance — creating a space that feels both elevated and livable.

What is your favorite feature of this design?

Three years ago, I arrived in New York City with little more than determination and hope. Those first months were anything but easy. Navigating uncertainty, rebuilding from the ground up, and holding onto the belief that this city could become home.

Today, I look around and feel deeply grateful for what we’ve built. With Vincent by my side, and Egg and Omar bringing their own chaotic brilliance into our lives, I have a family that inspires me every day to dream bigger and push harder.

We recently had the joy of capturing our home through the lens of Alan Lewis () and it reminded me how far this journey has brought us. This space isn’t just walls and furniture - it’s a reflection of love, resilience, and ambition for the future we’re building together.

Here’s to many more years in New York and to everything still ahead. 🥂
