My design process always begins with art. Art in any form - fine art, nature, culture, music, fashion. I like to begin with a singular inspiration and work to understand it. To take it apart and put it back together. Understand the history behind it. Contemplate not only the visuals but how it makes me feel.

For our editorials at I am doing just that. We’ve chosen three inspiring art movements as our focus for the three editorials. Right now, I’m studying the history, the philosophies, the patterns and pulling my ideas together into a cohesive design that speaks to the modern old soul and Francophile.

We’re sourcing from iconic tabletop brands, commissioning custom linens, working with beyond talented fashion designers, and antiquing pieces to bring this all to life. If I’m being honest, I’m a bit awestruck with what we have in store and I truly can’t wait to share how it all comes together.

Kicking off our 2023 recap with this stunning day from one of the most special properties I’ve ever worked at. is a step back in history and managed to perfection - perfect for an intimate wedding group.

This shoot was designed with opulent neutrals in mind. We used tones of lavender, plum, and caramel but in a way that read neutrally and added to the opulence of the setting.

Our stunning bride wore and carried a petite sweet pea and hellebore bouquet perfect for the romantic design. A stunning ceremony facing the garden, cigarette boat ride on Lake Como, and dinner in the manicured gardens of Villa Sola? It doesn’t get much better than that.
