ABOUT

My passions are interior design and teaching. My mission is to raise awareness of the influence and role of interior/exterior spaces in enhancing our well-being.

Places where we live, work, and learn should be designed with more focus on a healthy lifestyle, meaningful experiences, and a personal-centric view.

 

 

As a Holistic Interiors Design Community founder, I advocate for integrating interior design with neuroscience applied to architecture and environmental psychology, creating a holistic practice that supports all dimensions of wellness.

​

I have worked in the field, focusing on providing high-quality Residential and Commercial Interior Design, for over 20 years. I work with a team that helps me work harmoniously yet diligently to achieve my client's aspirations.

Now, let me tell you about my background:

 

From a Fashion Designer mother and an artistic, entrepreneurial family, I was raised in the world of couture. I worked for 5 years in the high-end women's clothing industry between N.Y.C.  and Miami, and 2 years in a multinational corporation as a marketing and sales trainer delivering workshops. After this fantastic experience, I started my own interior design business. Over 20 years designing, flipping, remodeling, and staging properties for sale. 

​

Since 2016, I have been implementing holistic interior design. I started with the Silver Vase office building, North America's most innovative orchid grower. There, I applied a biophilic design approach. I created office areas within the structure to raise vital energy levels for productivity, and relaxation areas for when mental and physical restoration is needed.
